I can look into stats for project activity and community health.

It's not totally clear to me what kind of Issues should be shared in this
context, but I have two on my mind:

* The way INFRA crippled the CI for the most active parts of our project
(Rust, C++) without warning on a holiday weekend, then ignored our request
for help all week (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-21239, still
unresolved as of this writing), was disappointing. I recognize that
maintaining the security of infrastructure is often a thankless job, but
the apparent lack of empathy for the maintainers of the projects they serve
doesn't help. I expect better from an organization whose mission is to
support open source software development.
* Our release process is too costly and is bottlenecked on a very small
number of PMCs who might be able to perform it, and we haven't managed to
do anything to improve this. (I suspect this is something for us to
resolve, not something that the board necessarily cares to hear.)
