Rant incoming... This is the least intuitive and least useful versioning system as a user and sysadmin that I have seen in a long time. Calendar releases ought to follow calendar naming conventions (eg. 25.3 or 20251017 etc.) and non-semantic versioning should try to be obvious. From what I can tell: "multiples of 'four minus one' are LTS" is the numbering scheme (but the software is only good for a year so... why not just call it Forgejo v2025 for its March release?)
The significance of Forgejo 13.0 is basically zero. A two-year cadence Debian release is newsworthy. Even if this were an LTS this is still not that interesting (unless there is some other context or significance that I'm not aware of).
If you go to their release page, you will see two versions listed. The current stable release (13.0) and the explicitlly marked LTS version (11), both with clearly visible end of support dates. Not sure how much simpler it can get :)
Their project, their rules. I don't know why you would think that your ideologies automatically translate into something that's convenient or better for them.

At the very least, a stable "LTS" tag would help.

Rant over.
