Pull Request Overview
This PR adds Python setup to the post-release mergeback workflow and updates the Python setup action version in the release-initialise action. The changes ensure Python is available in the workflow environment, which became necessary after ubuntu-slim runners no longer include Python by default.
Key changes:
- Added Python 3.12 setup step to the post-release mergeback workflow
- Updated Python setup action from v5 to v6 in the release-initialise action

We should have been setting up Python anyway, but the workflow's now failing since ubuntu-slim doesn't come with Python.
