Moving Spectacle to the Plasma release schedule

Thinking about it again, I don't think it would actually be necessary
to make 24.12 a short release. I could easily handle 24.12.1-24.12.3
and 6.2.90-6.3.3 simultaneously. It's not like any big changes will
make it into 24.12 at this point. Spectacle 6.3 will probably get more
love than 24.12 though, mostly because it can actually synchronize
with KWin and KPipeWire.

So what do I actually have the power to do? It's not clear who has
authority, whether or not consensus is needed or how consensus is
reached. Do I really only need to contact Albert, Jonathan and
distributions at kde.org to change the release schedule?

> It's not a sysadmin task, it's a release team task, remind Albert to remove it from the kde gear list at the appropriate time then remind me to add it to the Plasma list.

What determines the appropriate time? If we keep the full release
cycle, do I just ask you to add Spectacle to Plasma before 2024-12-26
(Plasma freeze) and ask Albert to remove Spectacle from Gear after
2025-03-06 (24.12.3)?

> The sysadmin task would be to move it from the graphics invent category to the plasma invent category so you can ask for that to happen any time.

Is it actually necessary to change categories on Invent? There are
other projects on the Plasma release schedule that are not in the
Plasma category.
