Indeed, swig 4.4.0 requires yet another rebuild. python-PyMuPDF FTBFS:

https://koschei.fedoraproject.org/package/python-PyMuPDF

If I rebuild mupdf against swig 4.4.0 and then python-PyMuPDF things
work.

So, again:

Are packages using swig supposed to be rebuilt for a swig change?

If yes then at least an announcement on devel would be nice (if not
taking care of rebuilds).

But maybe these packages are doing something special if noone else
complains.
