Further notes
Hello!
Would it be possible to tag a new release of evil? At my site we fetch evil from NonGNU ELPA (evil-1.15.0), but unfortunately this version is missing some fixes for issues that our users have reported.

Seeing as evil-1.15.0 was released almost 3 years ago, it would be great if there was a new release with all the improvements since then.
+1 on tagging 1.15.0. Currently there is a confusing version mismatch between melpa (1.14.2) and nongnu (1.15.0). A slight correction to OP, the version 1.15.0 in source was bumped right after 1.14.0 was released, but the release on nongnu was not until May 2024. Anyway, as you can see this is already confusing enough.
BTW I am not sure about the timestamp advertised on NonGNU. The NonGNU repo contained the commit bumping the version to 1.15.0 already on 2022-04-25. I am not sure exactly when it was released (my site previously fetched packages a different way)
But in any case, the version of evil on nongnu does not contain the last three years of changes, regardless of when it was released :)
