Description

T408461: Release MediaWiki 1.45.0 | T441070: Release MediaWiki 1.47.0

NOTE: This is a task for the mechanics of doing the release. Please do not add tasks that you believe should block the release to this task. Instead, please add them to the MW-1.46-release project. By definition, tasks in that project are blockers to the release.

This is roughly due to be released in June 2026.

I've boldly added a navigation-link to the previous MW release task (T408461: Release MediaWiki 1.45.0) from the task description -- earlier on today, I was referring back to that task (& its subtasks) multiple times, and IMO it would've been nice/helpful to have an easy way of getting to the previous MW release-task from the current one.
Feel free to remove if you disagree (& feel free to edit) :)
