Yes please :)

Maybe we can add "make a separate PR that updates the news" a to do item for the release checklist to avoid the problem of people getting the "you aren't on a stable version" banner after a release?

Not sure what you mean ? it's already an item in the checklist, see #31762 (comment)

Ah, maybe the thing to add to it is that we need to do this quite soon after making the release to avoid people reporting that the website is broken

Well it's a bit tricky and I don't know which step triggers the unwanted banner. The thing is that many steps are ordered, i.e. depend on a previous one, and some steps need to be executed only when we're sure that the release is ready and in a good state.

I think the problem starts when we update the contents of https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn.github.io/tree/main/1.7 but don't update the version.json in the /dev/ folder. Somehow the version switcher code can work out that what it is displaying on scikit-learn.org/stable is not a version that is listed as stable in version.json.
