Hi, I have done the cleanup of all the requirements needed for the release of Apache Avro-1.7.8[1]. The 1.7 branch is building. All the required cherry-picks are in the branch-1.7. Does anyone want to be a release manager? A minimum requirement is you need to be a committer to the project.
If no one is interested in it, I will work on it this week and try to get a release going in the next week. Just wanted to see if anyone is interested. Thanks a lot for the patience with this release. [1]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1998 If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. Thanks Suraj Acharya
