Thank you Andreas for making this change.  I believe it is the right way 
forward.

Thank you to the new team for designing this dashboard.  I especially 
appreciate how it improves transparency as to which packages are being worked 
on and what the concerns are, if any, for a package.

If I may make one suggestion, the previous dashboard listed Maintainer, 
Change-By, and Sponsor.  The new dashboard does not list the sponsor.  I 
appreciated having visibility to the sponsor field because that allowed me to 
search for my name on the page and see the status of all the packages I had 
sponsored that were in the NEW queue.
