   Possible typos and grammar issues:

   • "MuSig2 fields for PSBT as of v30.0" -> "MuSig2 fields for PSBT are supported as of v30.0" [missing verb; current phrase is fragment and may be unclear]
   • "and signing in v31.0" -> "and signing is supported as of v31.0" [second clause lacks a verb, making the sentence grammatically incomplete]

    Not a big deal, but it would be nice to use the same PR title format as the ones used for 30 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/33347) and 29 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32041):

    "build: bump CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR to 31"

    As a reviewer who is unfamiliar with the release process, my first step is to search for what was done in previous releases. I see that this PR does more than just bump the CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR, so maybe just in the commit message or somewhere in the PR description (this comment will probably do :) )
