36390	process_request method removed from RemoteUserMiddleware without deprecation/release note	mooner	Sarah Boyce	"Hello,

There were some async changes https://github.com/django/django/pull/18036 to middleware released in 5.2.1 but is this not a breaking change? Even just the diff for `RemoteUserMiddleware` completely removes `process_request` thereby breaking anything that depended on that: https://github.com/django/django/pull/18036/files#diff-0855f8c0e8b7fbb0ed4cd47469c9b75c9e8f3de04fd0415d92e05b7e682fbb1e

I didn't see it explicitly mentioned in the release notes and found it quite a challenge to track down.

Apologies if I've missed something here."	Bug	closed	contrib.auth	5.2	Release blocker	fixed		Jon Janzen	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
