This is an issue that has been coming up quite often, recently, and
even in the context of regular contributors like you, so apparently
there is a communications problem.

Which I, as the one responsible for the web pages, should address. ;-)

  Add a new section on the status of our release branches and mainline.

(Mark, perhaps you could double check this?)

Should there be an item added to the release checklist to update this page
when you make a release?
