We're pretty much all set for Tuesday's release, pending any normal last-minute merges.
The final Python 3.13 release was delayed by 6 days but went out successfully on 2024-10-07. We don't need a checklist like #6941 to add Python 3.13; there's less for us to update or wait for now, and everything that needs to be, should already be in place.
As it happens, I'm the next release manager for Python 3.14! And when I sat down with my calendar to plan the release schedule (PEP 745), I accidentally planned my very first CPython alpha release for the same day as this Pillow one! 😅 Not to worry, I'm very happy with our automation here, so I'll aim to kick this one off early. Very worst case, I'll delay this or the 3.14 alpha by a day, which should be fine for either project. But I doubt that will be necessary. And I've now added Pillow releases to my calendar :)

The upload job failed because something didn't recognise the new licence (#8460) yet:

Will dig further.

Looks like we need pypi/warehouse#16884 merged and deployed to PyPI. I've left a comment there.
