You can also look at the wikipedia page at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel#Maintenance_and_long-term_support

I do the updates of the entries for each release once the release-announcement has been sent to the list.
At least since I'm doing this (last ~5 years), the last release-announcement of a branch always contains a notice that
this release is now EOL.
I reference all these messages for each version.
