Hi teams,

As 2023.1 Antelope was released last week and we are in a less busy
period, now is the good time to call your attention to the following:

In less than a month Xena is planned to transition to Extended
Maintenance phase [1] (planned date: 2023-04-20).

I have generated the list of the current *open* and *unreleased*
changes in stable/xena for every repositories [2] (where there are
such patches). These lists could help the teams who are planning to
do a *final* release on Xena before moving stable/xena branches to
Extended Maintenance. Feel free to edit and extend these lists to
track your team's progress!

Note that the *latest* Xena *release* tagging patches ('xena-em' tag)
have been generated too in advance [3], please mark with a -1 if your
team plans to do a final release, or +1 if the team is ready for the
transition.

The schedule from now on is as follows:
* patches with +1 from PTL / release liaison will be merged, thus
  those repositories will transition to Extended Maintenance
* at the planned deadline (April 20th) the Release Team will merge all
  of the transition patches (even the ones without any response!)
* after the transition, stable/xena will be still open for bug fixes,
  but there won't be official releases anymore.

*NOTE*: teams, please focus on wrapping up your libraries first if
there is any concern about the changes, in order to avoid broken
(final!!) releases!
