Mostly there, the release is on PyPI already with wheels, but two wrinkles.

Docs - the GitHub action is breaking before deploying the docs,
something changed in the pip ecosystem - see
https://github.com/biopython/biopython/pull/5281 - this is delaying
the post-release version bump as the automated docs deployment is
hooked to the version number.

DIST - we used to archive our source releases on an FTP server, a role
largely replaced with PyPI for many years. That folder continues but
via GitHub Pages from https://github.com/biopython/DIST instead. That
folder/repository has grown with each release and seems now to have
hit a GitHub Pages deployment limit.

I think it is worth trying to build wheels using the Python 3.15
release candidate too...
