Hi there,
one week from now I will be marking the 3.8 branch as "security fixes only". I
still see activity on the branch, and there's been a bunch of open pull
requests. I reviewed and merged what I could, closed a few stale ones that had
outstanding failing tests, and there's still two left which I pinged.
I do realize that stars aligned and we will be releasing this last bugfix
version of 3.8 at the same time as 3.9.5, and more importantly 3.10.0 beta 1.
So there might still be some backport pull requests coming my way for 3.8. This
is all good and expected, just be a little conservative whether it makes sense
to backport a particular change. While there's still 2200 open issues on BPO
listing 3.8 as one of the affected versions, I hope we won't be seeing that
many PRs this week ;-)
I'm personally rooting for https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/25274
<https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/25274> to get in.
In any case, on Monday, May 3rd at 12pm CEST I will be cutting the 3.8.10
release. Any regular bugfix not merged and buildbot-tested by then will be
omitted. If you need to block this release for any reason, use the BPO "release
blocker" status and mark 3.8 as an affected version.
3.9.5 being less urgent will be made on the same day after 3.8.10 is up on
python.org <http://python.org/>.
