[DISCUSS] Kafka 4.0.2 and 4.1.2 bug-fix releases

[Matthias J. Sax]

Hello,

With AK 4.2.0 getting closer to begin released, I would like to propose 
to start 4.0.2 and 4.1.2 bug-fix releases. As we did back-port a lot of 
fixes to 3.9.2, all these fixes also landed in 4.0 branch so it seems 
worth to also do 4.0.2.

We would need an RM for each release; or if someone is brave enough, one 
RM doing both :D

Looking forward to your input on this proposal, and hoping for some 
committers to step up and volunteer as RMs.
