New release for google.golang.org/protobuf - v1.36.12? 🙏🏾

[dims]

Howdy folks,

xref: #1704
xref: kubernetes/kubernetes#137451

In Kubernetes we pins google.golang.org/protobuf to commit f2248ac996afc39b3df0777cdcc269f6ade50b07 (v1.36.12-0.20260120151049-f2248ac996af) to prevent kubernetes binary sizes from exploding.

see kubernetes/kubernetes#137445 for a bit more details.

Could you please share if a new release is on the table? If so when?

thanks,
Dims
