[Docutils-develop] time to release 0.22.b1 ?

[Guenter M. <mi...@us...>]

Dear Docutils developers,

with a long list a fixes, improvements, and additions since
release 0.21.2 (2024-04-23), how about releasing 0.22?

IMO, we should start with a beta release, to give downstream users an easy
chance to test without breaking installations with `pip` auto-updates.

@Engelbert: would you take care of the release again?

@Adam: I remember you announced interest in collaborating. Is this still
       valid?

Best regards,
Günter
