Documentation

I noticed a typo while doing some curation on Stack Overflow and looking for a link to justify a claim.

At the start of https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html#api-and-feature-removals :

Starting with Python 3.3, importing ABCs from collections was deprecated, and importing should be done from collections.abc. Being able to import from collections was marked for removal in 3.8, but has been delayed to 3.9. (See bpo-36952.)

This links to https://bugs.python.org/issue?@action=redirect&bpo=36952 , which redirects to #81133, which is the wrong issue. The redirection system is working fine, but the BPO ID is wrong; it should link the immediately next issue, bpo-36953 (resp. #81134).

The removal of this functionality is about to become very relevant again as people are forced to upgrade from 3.8 to remain within the support window. Hopefully, people who encounter problems will find the "What's New" document for 3.9 instead (or whatever version they're updating to), or to more specific third-party advice. But this should still get fixed.

Yes, let's fix this. Feel free to submit a PR to the main branch, and we'll fix it in the 3.12 and 3.13 docs at least.
