@kushalpandya and I still don't have chef repo access. I'm starting to get a little concerned about being RM next month without any real world practice

unassigned @timothyandrew

I finished picking all the Pick into Stable merged MRs into 9-2-stable and 9-2-stable-ee respectively.

9-2-stable seems to have 3 build failures:
docs lint - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/builds/16913160
unicorn_spec - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/builds/16913136
u2f_spec - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/builds/16913140

Picked the omnibus changes as well but I did not have master access to override the 9-2-stable branch.

I've pushed the picked changes into https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/merge_requests/1576 and have assigned it to @twk3

changed the description

marked the checklist item REFERENCE_TO_MR_TO_PICK as completed

assigned to @timothyandrew, @selfup, and @kushalpandya

Picked https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/11075 as that seems to be the reason docs lint was failing

Also picked https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/merge_requests/1827 for 9-2-stable-ee

For the failures mentioned in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/32711#note_30382107, only the doc lint failure remained after running retry

Waiting on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/11620 for 9.2.1

I think we should release as soon as we can after it goes in

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/merge_requests/1577 is also important for 9.2.1.

Being able to create backups is also very important: #32669 (closed) / !11635 (merged)
