Keeping to the quarterly release schedule means releasing 0.9.5 sometime in mid March. I arbitrarily suggest March 15 for the target release date.

Looking through the v0.9.5 milestone, these PRs seem like they are close to being ready to merge and are thus candidates for inclusion:

• add Boland DF estimation #1179
• use horner's method in disc #1183
• Test pvsystem.singlediode against precisely generated IV curves #1573
• Add model='gueymard2003' to get_relative_airmass #1655
• Vectorize pvlib.bifacial.utils._vf_ground_sky_2d across surface_tilt #1682
• update copyright #1692
• Update adrinverter parameter database #1695

Kicking down the road:

• Add map_variables parameter to read_tmy3 function #1623
• Migrate spectral modifier functions to pvlib.spectrum #1628
• Add N. Martin & J. M. Ruiz spectral response mismatch modifiers model #1658
• Correct infinite_sheds view factor from row to sky and ground; expose vf functions in bifacial.utils #1666
• Compatibility with pandas 2.0.0 #1672

@pvlib/pvlib-core please review any PRs that interest you. I volunteer to solicit reviewers for PRs that don't attract attention on their own over the next couple weeks.
