As we are on this one, can we also increase the minimum required version of TypeScript in the ESLint config package?

increase the minimum required version of TypeScript in the ESLint config package

Done. Thanks

[gziolo]

Looks good to me. The only thing I’m not sure is whether the change fir ESLint config should be flagged as breaking in the changelog.

Yeah, it should be a breaking change. I have updated the changelog accordingly.

@youknowriad, could you promote @manzoorwanijk to the Gutenberg repository member so he doesn't have to use forks? He had enough commits to qualify for quite some time.

[gziolo]

I tested the changes locally and everything works correctly.
