That should be easy enough.

On the same note, we probably should want to create some kind of
"Maintaining" list of all the actions that need to be taken on a new
release. If such exists, add creating a new tag for the *next* release
into the list.

My main argument for the month categories is that they would track
something else than just the last edit date. While the latest edit dates
are somewhat useful, they can't track the last thorough review of the page.

Those pages, along with more, are definitely useful for maintaining
purposes. Are they listed in a page somewhere with a brief explanation
on how they should be used, or should we create that list?
