pre-commit config needs to be updated. Also, should we go top-down and drop 3.8 from aiohttp first? Currently, its changelog only mentions the drop in master / v4. Should 3.11 be released first?

Probably a good idea. I was waiting for digest auth / middle ware to land in 3.11 before releasing but no reason we can't release 3.11 tomorrow and land it in 3.12

I think we should wait a little longer before releasing 3.11. I see no reason to block this on the aiohttp release though. FYI, if you look at https://pypistats.org/packages/aiohttp Python 3.8 is still the second most popular version most days. So, it'd be nice to keep the 3.10 release going till atleast the end of the year.

Okay, let's not block, then.
