I do not know why there are no announcement on some of the patches, but
the patches are still published and thus we have a README, now also on
the download page

There might have been some kind of decision to not post readme for some
of the patches that are already fixed upstream, when backported to an
older OTP version. As the changenote for that should already be posted.

Keep in mind the versioning and what that implies to what code is
included in what following version etc.

I.E the 19.2.3.1 patch is a backport for something that is released in
21.0
