Please review and comment on it (or just push fixes and enhancements)!

Is there any important piece of software we packaged during this release
cycle and that could be worth highlighting? From my limited perspective I
have none that comes to mind, but maybe it will for someone else.

I do remember that during the bullseye release, we were looking forward
to get nextflow into bookworm. AFAICS, that did not happen but I do see
a capsule-nextflow package.
Although it is mostly a deployment tool, _maybe_ it is worth a mention?

I've CC'ed Steffen for any inputs about the same.

Steffen?
IMHO I consider it less worth mentioning than shiny-server.

I agree. Let's (in my opinion) skip this and see it as a motivation to ship nextflow in Trixie.

Another package that should be mentioned is shiny-server -- we were
looking forward to have it for quite a while and it is finally there.
That said, it is a science team package and maybe deserves a mention
with the release-notes patch of that team.

I've just added shiny-server

I admit I would like to reward the work of Nilesh, Étienne and Pierre
explicitly but I doubt whether release notes are the right place to
mention people behind the work.

Thanks in any case ;)

I also doubt, but possibly we can say something like "many libraries have been packaged in order to pave the way for future inclusion of more prominent software in the field"? Just an idea, nothing mandatory here, especially since this sentence is not very specific!

Kind regards
     Andreas.
