It would be cool to get a Github tag so that mediawiki-docker (and similar 
approaches) could pick this up. See: 
https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-docker/blob/main/update.py

For example Semantic MediaWiki requires Docker images for CI:

Hey all,

This is a quick note to highlight that we've created the REL1_43 branch for 
MediaWiki core and each of the extensions and skins in Wikimedia git [0]. This 
is the first step in the release process for MediaWiki 1.43.0, which should be 
out in November 2024, approximately six months after MediaWiki 1.42.0.

The branches reflect the code as of the last 'alpha' branch for the release, 
1.43.0-wmf.28, which is being deployed to Wikimedia wikis this week for 
MediaWiki itself and those extensions and skins available there.

 From now on, patches that land in the main development branch of MediaWiki and 
its bundled extensions and skins will be slated for the MediaWiki 1.44 release, 
unless specifically backported [1].

If you are working on a critical bug fix that will affect the code in the 
release, once the patch has been merged into the development branch, you should 
propose it for backporting by cherry-picking to the REL1_43 branch.

If you are working on a new feature, that should now not be backported. If you 
have an urgent case where the work should block release for everyone else, 
please file a task against the `mw 1.43-release` project on Phabricator [2].

If you have tickets that are tagged for `mw-1.43-release`, please finish them, 
untag them, or reach out to get them resolved in the next few days.

We hope to issue the first release candidate, 1.43.0-rc.0, in two weeks' time, 
and if all goes well, to then release MediaWiki 1.43.0 a few weeks after that.
