Perhaps I missed something obvious, but I'm having trouble finding the
RC version. There isn't yet a tag in GitHub[1] for v6.5.7-rc1, though I
see tags for older release candidates. Should I instead be testing
'master' or 'next' directly, or am I looking at the wrong repo?

1 - at least, in the repo I've been using:
https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap

Kind regards,
