Actually I should have read the next lines that say:

"- Maintenance releases are numbered as vX.Y.Z and are meant to
contain only bugfixes for the corresponding vX.Y.0 feature release and
earlier maintenance releases vX.Y.W (W < Z)."

The last feature release was v2.4.0 that was tagged on April 30, so
the next one should be in 3 to 5 weeks.
