Yesterday, the release team announced the final freeze dates [3].
Well, sort of. As you note later, we announced the dates a year ago and it's not like we didn't mention it regularly that the freeze was starting last week, with a link to the full schedule. The freeze dates were on our website since the announcement a year ago. I recall the schedule was even on the DebConf 22 Loopy.
We would like to ask you to postpone the freeze date(s) by a full week, so we can care about all affected packages properly and ship them with Bookworm.
Sorry, but no. We're not going to delay for this.
I know, that these dates have been proposed a year ago. Unfortunately, nobody spotted this timing issue sooner. Otherwise, we would have contacted you, of course.
To be fair, I don't think we would have changed it even if we would have known it much earlier.
PaulPS: you can always try to ask for exceptions for individual packages, but you better have another story than "nobody looked at it for a year, and now it seems to be missing in bookworm".
