[ANN] U-Boot v2021.01-rc1 released

Hey all,
Well. I tagged this release on Wednesday. I drafted this email, uploaded everything, ran the script to update patchwork...and forgot to send the email. So now it's three days after the scheduled release day. As I noted in an email yesterday, it slipped my (calender reminders really..) mind Monday, and rather than rush it out yesterday, I said I would do it today. So here we are. There's certainly a few more PRs I expect to come in, and in general I hope custodians will look for ways to justify including things which have been ready for a while, but didn't get a PR out in time, rather than restricting themselves for the next window. So long as things are well contained of course.
In terms of a changelog, git log --merges v2020.10..v2021.01-rc1 contains what I've pulled but as always, better PR messages and tags will provide better results here.
I do have my reminders setup for doing -rc releases every other Monday from here on out and final release on January 11th, 2021. Thanks all!

Good question! I took the upstream patchwork post-receive hook example and tweaked it to instead be a script I call with first/last commits. What it does is for each commit it calls the internal patchwork tool to get the hash, and then asks patchwork for the patch ID that matches the hash. If found, it then marks that commit as accepted and sets what the git commit hash for it is.
Note that the biggest issue with this method is that any tweaks done between posting to patchwork and the actual commit can change the hash, so we can have stuff accepted but not marked as such, if custodians don't update this themselves.
