tl;dr: I'm in favor of officially supporting 3.8, if it looks like it won't be so hard to do (and especially if doing so will result in a net decrease in the support burden).
Long answer: I'm not sure if this was prompted in part by my question in #django-dev... but consider me one of the people who was confused about this. (And thanks Mariusz for reminding me of this page which more clearly lays out the supported Django/Python version combos: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/faq/install/#what-python-version-can-i-use-with-django) :) At least, we may wish to clarify the 2.2 release notes to say that versions before and after those explicitly listed are NOT supported (and/or link people to the above page from the release notes). Depending on how closely one is paying attention (I wasn't), it's possible to read this sentence and think that Django actually *wants *me to use Python 3.8 with Django 2.2: "We highly recommend and only officially support the latest release of each series." (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/releases/2.2/) (I think) I see now that that's referring to the latest release of *Django* rather than *Python*, but I'm still not entirely sure about that. (The other possibility being that that language is a holdover from the time when we were supporting both Python 2 and 3.)
