Reviews

Pick an issue that is in needs review
Confirm that all api functions are deprecated in 11.5.0 and removed in 13.0.0
Confirm that all form / batch callbacks and _ functions are deprecated in 11.5.0 and removed in 12.0.0
Constructor parameters can be deprecated for removal / addition in 12.0.0
If it is a form callback or underscore function they can be deprecated with no replacement.
If there is a replacement check the replacement, if there is no replacement review the reasoning for no replacement.
Pull the branch down and run the command git diff main --color-moved=dimmed_zebra --color-moved-ws=ignore-all-space to compare moved code vs changed code.
Review the shared change record https://www.drupal.org/node/3522207 to confirm that it is included. (If there is an issue specific CR review that)
Add details of your review to the issue in a comment

Code changes

Choose a module that does not have an issue
Create an issue for that module following the template of on of the issues on this #3567618: Create service for image_path_flush, image_style_options and constant for IMAGE_DERIVATIVE_TOKEN
Add the issue to the list in the remaining tasks section so we don't duplicate efforts
Ensure this issue is the parent
Comment that you are working on it
All functions should be deprecated even _ and form callbacks, though those can be deprecated without replacement
All functions should be deprecated in 11.5.0 for removal in 13.
Constructor changes should be deprecated in 11.5.0 for permanent change in 12.

Scope

Dependency injection should only be added in classes that already have it.
Constructor argument deprecations should be for removal in 12.0.0
If a function is deprecated without replacement, then the code block should remain, just add the deprecation comment and trigger error.

Proposed resolution

When considering the removal version of a deprecated item, follow the policy from Disruptive deprecations should now be scheduled for removal in Drupal 13.0.0, which states:

(...) disruptive deprecations in Drupal 11.3.x and higher should be scheduled for removal in 13.0.0 (rather than 12.0.0).

Potential cases that can still be removed in Drupal 12:

Constructor parameter additions and removals
