Since there have been no further updates on this thread, I think we should be good to cut the 1.19.0-incubating release.
The last big change that got merged was about the non-persistent topics. I have one more PR that I'd like to include: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pulsar/pull/514 (to have a flag that enable static linking, which is needed to create the self-contained python client dist file) After that, if there no objections, I'll start preparing the first candidate package.
