Performed the following validations using the tools available here:

https://github.com/izzyacademy/apache-kafka-release-party

   - Verified signatures, keys and hashes for release artifacts
   - Deployed Multi-Node Cluster in Legacy Mode (with Zookeeper)
   - Deployed Multi-Node Cluster in KRaft Mode (without Zookeeper)
   - Can confirm that KAFKA-13456 works as expected after switching to 3.1.0
   - Briefly Walked Through 3.1 Documentation, Javadocs and Protocol Pages

+1 (non-binding) for the release candidate

Thanks for running this release
