According to Amazon, the Archive’s August slate currently consists of:
Shadow of the Thin Man
In the Good Old Summertime
One Crazy Summer
I’m sure more will turn up later. I really wish the Archive would go back to issuing press releases so we don’t have to scour Amazon for potential Archive releases.

Yeah, there's been some false alarms in the past few days. I have my (longish) list of films that I'd love to buy, & if any of them turn up, hooray!
Yes, I noticed. And it looks like one of the false alarm titles (High Sierra) will actually be coming from Criterion in October:

An Amazon page has gone up for Santa Fe Trail (1940) scheduled for September 14th. I’m sure more will come later. This is particularly big news as I believe this marks the first Public Domain film the Archive has released on Blu-ray. Hopefully, more will come.

Interesting that they would do a Blu-ray when they never did a DVD. How many other PD films does Warners have elements for? I can think of three:
This is the Army
Life With Father
The Big Trees
I’m pretty sure Royal Wedding and Till the Clouds Roll By are some other Public Domain films they have elements for. If they do anymore PD films, I think Life With Father will be next as that’s been making the rounds on HBOMAX in a restored transfer.

Per Home Theatre Forum, the other September titles are:
A Night at the Opera
The Window
The Naked Spur
Straight Time
I wonder if Warner was able to find the missing footage for Night at the Opera.

I had forgotten about those two musicals. They (along with "This Is the Army") at least received DVD releases from Warners. But Warners hedged their bets by only releasing them in combination with other, still-in-copyright titles.
What's to stop the PD labels from just stealing the SANTA FE TRAIL Blu-ray release and putting it out on their own labels? For that matter, why hasn't that happened to the Paramount/Criterion DVD release of ONE-EYED JACKS?
To address your last inquiry, Universal had to excise the Paramount logo before and after the restored transfer and replace them with their own precisely for that reason.

Per Michael Reuben:
"There's some good news for fans of the Warner Archive Collection.
George Feltenstein has returned to Warner as a full-time employee, where he has once again assumed control of WAC, including its Blu-ray releases. We can expect those releases to continue for the foreseeable future.
Anticipating the likely (and reasonable) question about the reliability of this information, I will add that it comes directly from Mr. Feltenstein, with whom I spoke this afternoon."
