Installed, tested, checked it out.
I hope I'm not late.

"[PATCH 3/6] Implement unaccent Unicode data update in meson"

The idea of raising the minimum Meson version is good.
But it seems like we can do without raising the version.
As I understand it, the minimum version is being raised because of
.replace(), but it can be successfully replaced here with the following
construct:
cldr_version_dashed = '-'.join(CLDR_VERSION.split('.'))
url = cldr_baseurl.format(cldr_version_dashed, f)

I would increase the minimum version of Meson, but I would do it with a
separate patch so that the commit log would be "loud":
- Increase the minimum version for Meson.

This would be useful for users who look at commit logs.
Currently, the minimum version for Meson is increased "secretly" inside
the patch. Or at least explicitly indicate this in the commit log for
this patch.

Otherwise, looks good to me.
I am in favor of regular Unicode updates. 🙂
