I'm MOTW this week. Any handover? Where should I look to catch up on the release-blocking issues?

I believe @worried-painter-31382 fixed (at least temporarily) the wheel building issues for releases with https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/21172 I've three releases started from a couple weeks back that got stuck after the release prep PRs where merged, so haven't tagged them for release yet. I have yet to get back to them now that the wheel building seems to be up and running again. But I wonder if we should re-do the release preps for those that have newer changes made.. (i.e. the .dev release at least) as it could be confusing to post a release that doesn't have all recent changes in it.

Yes, I was unsure if I should file an issue or not but the fix I applied will only last as long as deprecated github actions (upload-artifacts and checkout) are kept usable. Not sure how we handle manylinux_2014 wheels and nodejs20 reqs simultainously. The nicest solution is probably to build a rust backend /adhoc tool setup that builds the engine & client via docker_environment as discussed in https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/21133

Once they're published I'll just make a note in the release notes that we skipped some releases due to infrastructure issues
