Okay, I was under the impression that the entity blessing Python
releases as “official” is the PSF. What is that entity, then?

Whatever entity is the one which makes “this is an official release of
Python the language”, and “support for Python version A.B will end on
YYYY-MM-DD”, that's the entity I meant.
