Release 19.2

THE TIME HAS COME FOR CHOOSING A RELEASE MANAGER!

---

More seriously, we're almost at July so we should probably figure out our RM and whether we should have a release.

[pradyunsg]

I'm up for it and am happy to defer it if someone wants to be the RM.

IMO, we have enough things in master to justify a new release (news/ has ~11 feature and bugfix files each, as on today).

(accidentally assigned myself coz pressing p<enter> assigned me instead of pypa/pip-committers)

On that note, pinging @pypa/pip-committers.

Hmm... Does this mean I am the release manager for 19.2?

That would be nice 😊.

I'd like to take care of one of the next, but for this one, I'm not sure I'll have the time to properly handle it.

I'll make the release in this week, optimistically. 🙃
