Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

At https://www.python.org/downloads/ there's a very useful "Active Python Releases" table. But I need to look up the latest release of a minor Python version fairly frequently. For this I need to go down to the "Looking for a specific release?" section and scan through it to find a particular release. This is fairly error prone, since the release are sorted by release date, and multiple patch releases of minor Python version are listed.

Describe the solution you'd like

Another column "Current version" in the "Active Python Releases" would be quite handy.

Drawbacks and Impact

One disadvantage would be that the table becomes wider. On the other hand, currently, the "Maintenance status" column for the 3.8 release contains the text "end of life, last release was 3.8.20", which is quite wide by itself, and could be moved to the new column.
