It's pretty simple at this point. :) Obviously feel free to open an issue
on the devguide to add a checklist on how to do the final commit
appropriately since this should be documented somewhere.

Pretty much! Just remember to tidy up the title as well like Ivan pointed

Just make sure to add the labels before the merge. Then after the merge the
issue will get a comment pointing to the backported PR. Go over there and
approve the new PR, then miss-islington will handle the final merge.

to be true. :)
