Thanks for the pre-release.

One point to remember for next time: according to our version policies
(https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/dev/policies.html#docutils-version),
the next development version is not 0.22.1b1 but 0.22.1rc2.dev.
(0.22.1b1 < 0.22.1, if some problem is found in 0.22.1.rc1, the next
next pre-release would be 0.22.1.rc2).

As the next release is imminent, we could be pragmatic and
keep the identifier as-is for today

> 0.22.1 is planned for wednesday september 17

After that release, the repository schould become "0.22.2.b1.dev":

__version_info__ = VersionInfo(
    major=0,
    minor=22,
    micro=2,
    releaselevel='beta',  # one of 'alpha', 'beta', 'candidate', 'final'
    serial=1,  # pre-release number (0 for final releases and snapshots)
    release=False  # True for official releases and pre-releases
    )
