[DISCUSS] Releasing Flink 1.12.3

[Arvid Heise-4]

Dear devs,

Since we just fixed a severe bug that causes the dataflow to halt under
specific circumstances [1], we would like to release a bugfix asap.

I would volunteer as the release manager and kick off the release process
on next Monday (April 19th).
What do you think?

Note that this time around, I would not wait for any specific
fixes/backports. However, you can still merge all fixes that you'd like to
see in 1.12.3 until Monday.

Btw the fix is already in master and will be directly applied to the next
RC of 1.13.0. Flink version 1.11.x and older are not affected.
