preparing for 5.0.2

#insert usual lament about overall lack of testing these days

Apparently my CI hadn't build AppImages in more than two months. I hadn't noticed.
Looking at download stats, and trying to filter out bots, the number of times the daily test builds are downloaded are... demoralizing.
For 99+% of them the only downloads are clearly bots. And many of the real downloads are the result of one of us pointing users to those builds to see if they fix a bug.

Oh well. I fixed the AppImage build problem. I fixed yet another config issue that prevented the Launchpad Hirsute build from working. I fixed a different issue with the OBS builds for RPM based distros.
I believe everything is pushed (sources, tags, tar balls, binaries for all platforms that I build for plus distro builds that I can push for)

A draft announcement is in the GitHub.io repo if people feel like translating those.

Richard - how do you trigger your Debian builds? Is that automatic or do you need to do this manually? Have they been tested enough that we would want to advertise them to interested users?
I believe Gaetan's builds are automated for ArchLinux? Should we add instructions for those to the website?
Is there anyone else created unofficial builds that we might want to start mentioning?
