The release branch for LLVM 9 and its sub-projects was just created
from trunk at r366426, and the trunk version was subsequently bumped
to 10.0.0.
Release blockers are tracked by https://llvm.org/PR42474 Please mark
any bugs, old or new, that need to be fixed before the release as
blocking that.
To get a change committed to the branch, first commit it to trunk as
usual, and then request it to be merged --- ideally by filing a
blocker bug on https://llvm.org/PR42474, or by cc'ing me on the commit
email. (Please don't request merges over IRC; there's a high risk I'll
miss them.)
Please help with the release by notifying me about any bugs, commits,
or other issues you think might be relevant. If it's not already
tracked as a blocker of the release bug, or I'm not cc'd on an email
about it, I will probably miss it.
When the branch is in good enough shape, hopefully by tomorrow, the
first release candidate (RC1) will be tagged and testing can begin.
The release schedule can be found under "Upcoming Releases" to the
right at https://llvm.org
I'd like to echo this request. I help maintain a downstream LLVM
repository that I haven't yet been able to migrate to the monorepo
structure (I know, I will! It's a work in progress ). I'd like to
rebase our downstream patches on top of a 9.0.0 release branch, but am
currently unable to do so because the mirrors do not have such a
branch.
Alternatively, does anyone have a convenient way to determine which
mirror commit represents the branching point of the 9.0.0 release
branch? I tried determining this for myself by checking out the
branching point r366423 in each SVN sub-repository and seeing the most
recent commit, and I got these.
So I'm thinking that checking out the mirror commits above and
applying the same patches on top as applied to the llvm-project
release branch would get me a mirror release branch. But if anyone can
confirm that, or if they know an easier way to find these mirror
commits, please let me know. Thanks!

Could you please do the necessary magic for 'release_90' branches to
appear on llvm-mirror/* repos?

"By tomorrow" was clearly too optimistic. There are still some issues
I'd like to see resolved before tagging rc1. Hopefully it can be done
by Monday.
Those who wish can of course still try out the release branch directly
in the meantime.
