Ensure, that the above command handles:
- adding link to the release blog post's MR
- setting deadline for add entries to release blog post
  
  Please check what deadline is set for General Contributions section in the release blog post Merge Request. It should be 6th working day before the 22nd. In that case we can set our deadline for 7th working day before 22nd, however if the deadline from the MR is earlier, then use the earliest one.
- updating the .Major and .Minor to a specific release version
- updating the .HelmChartMajor and .HelmChartMinor to a specific release version

RC release template

There should be at least one RC version between RC1 and stable release. If there are any important changes merged into stable branch (like bug/security fixes) the RC should be prepared and deployed as soon as possible. For a less important changes (documentation, simple fixes of typos etc.) the RC can wait a little.

When deciding to release a new RC version, please update the checklist using the following template:

## At _day here_ - **v11.9.0-rcZ** release

- [ ] check if Pipeline for `11-9-stable` is passing: [![pipeline status](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/badges/11-9-stable/pipeline.svg)](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/commits/11-9-stable)
    - [ ] add all required fixes to make `11-9-stable` Pipeline passing
- [ ] `git checkout 11-9-stable && git pull` in your local working copy!
- [ ] prepare CHANGELOG entries

    ```bash
    ./scripts/prepare-changelog-entries.rb
    ```

    Copy the lines to the beginning of `CHANGELOG.md` file and add a proper header:

    ```markdown
    v11.9.0-rcZ (TODAY_DATE_HERE)
    ```

- [ ] add **v11.9.0-rcZ** CHANGELOG entries and commit

    ```bash
    git add CHANGELOG.md; git commit -m "Update CHANGELOG for v11.9.0-rcZ" -S
    ```
