Comment (by annezazu):

 This came up in a core committer meeting in November 2025:
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/2025/11/26/core-committers-check-in-
 november-2025/

 >Are there new widgets that can be added, such as “on this day” or
 “new/unresolved notes” for sites making use of the Notes feature.

 It also came up in the 7.0 Product review with Matt:
 https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/02/18/wordpress-7-0-product-review-
 meeting-with-matt/

 >“On this day / previous years” widget discussed as a simple, useful
 candidate to bring in.

 Here's the exact timestamp for the conversation if you want to listen
