Description

Describe the bug
Release information for various 3.8.x, 3.9.x, and 3.10x versions include the line:

Note: The release you're looking at is Python 3.9.13, a bugfix release for the legacy 3.9 series. Python 3.11 is now the latest feature release series of Python 3. Get the latest release of 3.11.x here.

The issue is merely textual as the link goes to /downloads.

To Reproduce
Search for the text "Python 3.11 is now the latest feature release series of Python 3". and the search results contain all releases with the outdated text.

Expected behavior
The text should say

Python 3.12 is now the latest feature release series of Python 3. Get the latest release of 3.12.x here.
