Cut v1.29.1 release

[xmudrii]

Scheduled to happen: Wed, 2024-01-17

Note for v1.x.0 releases: Having this issue in open state will stop the
periodic run of krel fast-forward
to avoid conflicts with releases running in parallel. The fast-forward will
automatically stop once the v1.x.0 tag is available.
