Hi Tim, Thanks for your interest in Apache Kafka.
The page you mention is still contains valid information regarding the End of Life cycle: Apache Kafka maintains the latest 3 versions. Currently, this means 3.6.2, 3.7.1 and 3.8.0. In a few weeks we hope to have released 3.9.0, which would then imply that 3.6.2 has reached EOL. Apache Kafka doesn't use GitHub for releases, but rather the ASF mechanisms, under kafka.apache.org/downloads you can find all different releases. In there you can find the 3 actively maintained releases and older ones (EOL) under the archive section. Hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.
