Upcoming glibc-2.42 release

[Andreas K. Huettel]

Hi all, 

unless someone else wants to step in, I'm going to take care of the upcoming 
release again.

Suggested 6-week schedule, mostly just writing down how we've handled things
in the past:

- 20 June 2024: Soft freeze
  * No *starting* of new features anymore
  * Decisions on what goes still in and what goes not
  * Review and addition of patches

- 4 July 2025: Freeze
  * Machine testing
  * Bug fixes without large impact
  * No ABI changes without RM discussion
  * High risk bug fixes should be discussed on the list.

- 18 July 2025: Hard freeze
  * Only critically important or technically straightforward bug fixes

- 1 Aug 2025 (or ideally a bit earlier): Release

Cheers,
Andreas
