see the thread at https://opensource.eff.org/eff-open-source/pl/f5yx4a4q4j8zjyqpmath494jge for details

since it's only the v5.2.0 github tag that's borked, we could in theory try and use like v5.2.0-2 or something, but there are places in the release pipeline that use the GH tag as input to the assets they build, so i think just skipping 5.2.0 altogether is simpler, easier, and safer

with this change, here's the proposed changelog

## 5.2.1 - 2025-12-02

### Added

- Support for Python 3.14 was added.
  ([#10477](https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/10477))

### Changed

- While nothing significant should have changed from the user's perspective,
  we've been doing a lot of internal refactoring in preparation for soon adding
  support for IP address certificates to Certbot.
  ([#10468](https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/10468),
  [#10478](https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/10478))

### Fixed

- Removed `vhost_combined` and `vhost_common` log formats from included Apache
  configuration file. ([#9769](https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/9769))
- Due to a mistake on our end playing with GitHub's new [immutable
  releases](https://github.blog/changelog/2025-10-28-immutable-releases-are-now-generally-available/)
  feature that prevented our CI from uploading additional release assets,
  Certbot 5.2.0 was not and will not be uploaded to most platforms. Instead,
  that version number will be skipped and we'll go straight to 5.2.1.
