Fwd: kate 22.04 release notes

[Christoph Cullmann (cullmann.io)]

Hi,

I failed to find it myself, perhaps you can point me to it:

Is there some working branch for the KDE Gear 22.04 release notes?

And is there somebody who wants to help with beautifying this list for 
it?

Greetings
Christoph

I compiled most of the work done for this release. Usually our release

add things.
