12.15 on 11 July 2026 is the final bookworm point release, after which
bookworm passes to the LTS team [LTS]. The queue may be frozen early if
there is significant outstanding work. Please ensure any fixes are filed
and processed in good time.

Requesting a stable update
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D

As a reminder, the update criteria are documented in the Developer's
Reference [DEVREF].

Use `reportbug release.debian.org` to file your request, as this gets the
metadata right. Include a *source* debdiff, rationale, and relevant bug
numbers, and await a request to upload before doing so. If you are
confident the upload will be accepted without changes, you may upload at
the same time. A tracking bug is required in all cases and uploads without
one will be flagged and may be rejected. Do not close the request bug in
the changleog.
