8.20 changelog #19281 (Pierre Roux, 15 min)
moving Coq Platform Docs to the Coq's or Coq Platform's organization (Thomas Lamiaux, 15 min)
rename From Coq to From Stdlib #19310 ready and needs an assignee (Pierre Roux, 5 min)

good progress on the documentation
currently hosted in a personal repository
move it under the Coq umbrella, so that it becomes available to other contributors (e.g., Iris)
final request for comments about https://github.com/coq/ceps/pull/91
otherwise, merge the CEP in two weeks

#19370
currently a bit tedious for release managers and not really usable due to the hard error on unrecognized versions
proposal: stop removing files, and turn the error into a warning
only add new trivial files (Require Export NextVersion) when a meaningful file is added
silence deprecation warnings in the compatibility files (need a script?)

#19281
how to count closed bug reports and merged pull requests? look at the milestone
what to do about the list of maintainers? replace it with the list of assignees and reviewers? merge it with the list of contributors?
- merge assignee and reviewer list and replace maintainer list with that
- this enables to highlight the particular work of reviewer
- also solves the issue that maintainer list contains name of people who are not longer active, but we have no objective criteria for this
mention docker-keeper

is it maintained?
still used for education, e.g., Pierre Rousselin (Villetaneuse), but stuck at 8.17
