    Dear all,

    Quiet period
    ============

    According to plan [1], we entered the quiet period leading up to the
    release of bookworm on 2023-06-10. We have even managed unblock
    requests filled well beyond the deadline and even unblocked a couple
    of packages with RC bugs fixed but without a request to make bookworm
    the best we can have.


    Future bug fixes
    ================

    There are still about 100 known RC bugs affecting bookworm, but we
    have accepted to release having them included. Most of them will be
    mentioned in the Release Notes. No doubt, more issues will be found
    after the release when more systems will be running bookworm. As on
    previous occasions, we anticipate that the first point release for
    bookworm will occur approximately one month after the release.

    Please co-ordinate fixes which you would like to see included in the
    point release with the Stable Release Managers (SRMs) via a "pu" bug
    against the release.debian.org pseudopackage, including a debdiff of
    the current and proposed source packages. Remember to use reportbug
    unless you enjoy crafting the metadata by hand.

    For uploads fixing security issues, please coordinate with the
    Security Team.


    Release Notes
    =============

    Contrary to what many seem to perceive, the Release Notes keep being
    updated as issues against it are reported. So, if you encounter issues
    (or new features) that warrant to be mentioned, please propose it for inclusion. Preferable with a proposed text as a merge request [2], alternatively as a plain bug in the BTS against the release-notes
    package.

    Paul
