For transparency and status tracking of this issue, I'm sharing a message from @lgblaumeiser from the open Matrix chat. Based on this, the issue is scheduled to be reviewed on Friday

Hi [...], the release of EDC 0.12.0 delays a bit, as we currently are not able to check the DEPENDENCIES. The Eclipse Foundation tooling is reporting consistently a 504 instead of providing the information. We have to wait until the service is running again. Afterwards, we have to potentially let some dependencies be checked by the Eclipse Foundation automation, as we had to update some dependencies on Friday, due to known vulnerabilities. Sorry for that, but we are on it.
