I've used Gimp for as long as I can remember, it's one of those tools I always have installed in my workstation. It's quirky, but I love it anyway.
Glad to see 3.0 released. Valve, are you paying attention? Those is how it's done.

Could anybody in short explain, what I have to understand from "it's tagged"?
The commit shows that there was a longer with 3.0.0 tag before and now its just 3.0.0
What does that tell us?

It means that 3.0.0 is released. A git tag has also been made. Not sure why a release hasn't been added to GitLab yet, as it has already been 8 hours.
In practice, this means that GIMP version 3.0.0 (actual release, not a release candidate) has been released and can be built.

After seven years of active development
I wonder where they got this from. The 2.x branch was first released 21 years ago.

Could anybody in short explain, what I have to understand from “it’s tagged”?
Git is the most popular version control system, which lets developers track changes to software source code. A "tag" applies a name (or version number) to a specific point in the history.

The link goes to a commit which is tagged
GIMP_3_0_0, and shows the change made in this commit. This commit happens to change theversionline in a file calledmeson.build- this file configures Meson, which is used to build GIMP. The version is being changed from3.0.0-RC3+gitto3.0.0. The string "RC3" in the previous version number is short of "release candidate 3", and "git" here means that there were additional changes since "release candidate 3" was released.What does that tell us?
So far the news and downloads pages still haven't been updated, but the version being changed to
3.0.0and this commit being tagged tells us that GIMP 3.0.0 is about to be released: official binaries and an announcement about it can be expected to appear very soon.The tag means no more changes will be included in 3.0.0; if some show-stopping bug were discovered now, the version number would be incremented to 3.0.1 rather than to include a fix in 3.0.0. (Technically, a tag can be updated/replaced, but by convention it is not.)

7 years of working on the 3.x branch?

So far the news and downloads pages still haven’t been updated
If I can’t download it, and the site says the latest version is 2.10.38, is it really released?

as i said, it "is about to be released".
or, one could also say that the the 3.0.0 source code has been released, but the official binaries haven't been yet

In case anyone is curious, here's the steps missing to get an official release.

Does it support CMYK now?
From the post: "This update also lays the groundwork for future CMYK and LAB image color modes."
