In the end, I think everything worked fine so far from the release side
and in principle, I have all binaries ready. However, after giving them
a quick round of testing, I discovered two issues that I think would be
good to fix: https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/1253
Especially the version printout might cause problems if people think
that this is the new format and start updating some regular expression.

So while I could upload the release tomorrow, I tend towards not doing
it unless somebody really wants me to. I will try again next weekend.
