Just as an update, I don't yet have a pre0 I'm happy with. I've been wrestling with some make dist issues relating to the move from bzr to git, and digesting a number of recent cmake changes. I think I'm close but will have to pick it up tomrrow.
In the meantime, consider the 0.92.x frozen at this point. Do not land code or cmake changes directly - notify me about them as described below. (Translations are still ok for now.)

We were holding off for 0.92.2 until the git migration was done. Now with that behind us, I'd like to suggest some plans for doing another point release:
Jul 22: 0.92.x Pre-release + String Freeze (0.92.x branch only) + Packagers package pre0 release as desired + Translators work on translations + Revert changes that introduced regressions + Code changes must be reviewed and landed by Bryce (0.92.x branch only) Aug 4: Final Freeze + Final deadline for all translation work + Only Release Warden may commit (0.92.x branch only) Aug 5: 0.92.x Release Tarball + Packagers package final tarball Aug 7: Announce
Backporting of fixes has been going strong (good work everyone!) Please keep doing as you've been doing for one more week.
After the 22nd, I will be reviewing and landing all further code-changing patches. You can send me merge requests, lists of cherrypickable SHA's from trunk, or patchsets generated via `git format-patch`, as is convenient for you. Stuff I'll be watching for:
☑ Patch is short ☑ Fix is already in trunk ☑ Has been tested and confirmed by at least one other person ☑ References a bug ID or url in commit message ☑ No translatable strings are changed ☑ Bugfix only - no refactoring, no feature changes
On the 22nd, I'll package a pre0 tarball for testing purposes. The switch to git will require updating some release procedures so this will be a good dry run. It would be nice to see packages made.
Testing of the pre-release will be appreciated, however for release purposes we will be principally looking for _regressions_ compared with 0.92.1, so we can revert whatever patch caused the regression. Other bugs are welcome to be filed and worked on, of course, but I'd like to keep on schedule.
For the actual release, please take Aug 5th as a pencilled in date, that may need to change depending on how things go. When the tarball is ready I'll send a private note to the release team (packagers + announcers).
Vector Team, if you would like to take the announcement writing and/or dissemination tasks, let me know - I'd be very appreciative of the help.
Let me know if there is anything else that should be done or accounted for in the above plan.
