please also consider with updated translations on the stable branch,
when deciding whether to cut or not a release at these extra stable
maintenance release points.

Other than that, I would really appreciate if maintainers would
actually release the bug fixes sitting in their stable branches
eventually; often I see that these will never see a release tarball and
downstreams need to go pick them up manually and add their own
patchsets for them.
So giving a nudge towards that with these extra stable release dates is
welcome in my eyes.
