Looking at Debian’s release-critical bugs, you can see that Trixie is close:
Testing now has fewer critical bugs than Stable, and the number is dropping quickly.
About 200 bugs still need to be fixed to get the number down to where the previous releases were done.

Maybe you can help? Bugs blocking the next release can be as simple as missing translations for the upgrade instructions.

      It defaults to the codename. Any installer you download will be either Bookworm or Sid right now.

        I really wish they had easier way to switch to newer version. It works for me, since it’s not that hard to edit sources.list (or debian.sources nowadays), but I don’t get why they don’t make a tool that does a release upgrade like on Ubuntu. Could even list changes made to the sources file during execution for that matter.

          Yeah, I don’t know. Probably because people don’t immediately upgrade? A lot of people use a release until it goes EoL.
