Reminder: file JDK 25 CSRs well ahead of rampdown 1 start -- 5 weeks to go

[Joseph D. Darcy]

PPS Less than three weeks until JDK 25 rampdown 1 start. Any JEPs or 
other large projects intended for JDK 25 should have already started 
engagement with the CSR.

As a reminder, for CSRs in Provisional state, the assignee is 
responsible for changing the state of the CSR to its next value, such as 
Withdrawing the CSR if there is no longer interest in pursuing the work 
or Finalizing the CSR if it is ready for the second phase of CSR review.
