For most apps, we won't have a need to do any more bookworm uploads.
Can we wait to fork a branch from the latest bookworm git release tag
until we actually need it, or are expected to need it? Like we need
gnome-shell but we probably wouldn't need something like devhelp or
gnome-mines.

Yeah, my preference once we fork is  debian/bookworm  since that
matches the convention we have been using for Debian Stable updates.
