> Do I have push rights to the main repo? No -- see the committer / PMC list here: http://arrow.apache.org/committers/. The PMC periodically will add new committers based on their contributions to the project (see https://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles). For the time being I will help with reviewing and merging R-related patches. Note that reviewing code is also "contributing" so others interested in R are welcome to help with code / design review also.
