Can we have a release just for Python 3.12 support please?

Checklist

• I have searched for similar issues.
• For Python issues, I have tested with the latest development wheel.
• I have checked the release documentation and the latest documentation (for main branch).

Proposed new feature or change

Issue #6433 has been closed more than 6 months ago, but the release 0.19 checklist is still only 51% complete.

This means that our https://github.com/cwi-dis/cwipc is still stuck at Python 3.11 (and undoubtedly various other packages that use Open3D are in the same situation).

This is getting to be unmaintainable: Python 3.11 is in security mode, so my end users have to go out of their way to install a Python (especially on Windows).

And my GitHub actions workflow is becoming very complicated, especially since the default Linux runner has switched to Ubuntu 24.04 which has Python 3.12.

Installing Open3D from source would work for me as a developer on my own machine, but is hardly an option for ci/cd, let alone end users...
