This week we offer you a bunch of bug fixes and improvements before the team flies to India for the 2024 MetaBrainz summit. Especially noteworthy is another derat contribution, fulfilling a very popular improvement request to try and help editors reuse existing release groups instead of adding duplicates. Thanks derat.
