Hi all,

With help from Kou and Jacob, the release process has been just about ported to 
work with the arrow-adbc repository [1].

I would like to release 0.1.0 of ADBC as soon as that's ready, if there aren't 
objections. While we voted for the 1.0.0 API specification, there is still a 
lot of work to do on the packages themselves, but I think it would also help to 
get the packages in front of people to start getting feedback. Hence 0.1.0 not 
1.0.0. 

Also, I would like to promote/write more about this new project, get it 
integrated into Arrow Dataset, etc., and having concrete (experimental) 
packages would help with that. In particular, I'd like to ship Flight SQL 
support in PyArrow to make it more accessible, and hopefully doing that via 
ADBC opens the door to other languages too. Since the next Arrow release is in 
January, I'd like to try to get the pieces in place in time for that.

Finally, this release process is mostly based around GitHub (issues, releases, 
CI, etc.) instead of Jira/Artifactory/etc. So it may be of interest for other 
projects considering a similar workflow.

Thanks,
