This one is a little misleadingly formatted with the example projects being listed on the “in” line. Doctrine is only affected by “out”. This of course doesn't change anything, since it's a bundled proposal, but since you explicitly split the numbers per-keyword, I wanted to point it out.

For this one, I suspect you counted the one in ajthinking\archetype--v2.0.0\src\snippets\relationships.php, which is already deprecated as of PHP 8.4. You might've also counted the `use function foo as _;` ones, which should be grouped with the “Deprecate _ as function name” ones. The voting widget is a little unclear, but the deprecation message for that one clearly specifies class names only, so use Foo as _; So from what I understand the actual number would be 0 instead.
