[python-committers] Status of Python 3.11.0a4

Hi everyone,

I want to report on the status of Python 3.11.0a4. We had a ton of release blockers (some extra ones since I reported the last time) and it seems that we managed to fix them all (thanks to Mark Shannon, Christian Heimes, Gregory P. Smith, Neil Schemenauer, Steve Dower and many others that helped with the blockers.

Unfortunately it seems that the release is cursed and we are having some problems with the certificates to create and sign the Windows artefacts so we are waiting for that to unblock us.

I will keep you posted on new developments.

Regards from rainy London, Pablo Galindo Salgado
