Even though you probably don’t want to blow your own trumpet, Francis, I think we should call out the change of VP, and the fact that we have had a "peaceful transition of power” to a new person every year since graduation. I am proud of this particular Calcite tradition, and one excellent side effect is the growing number of former VP “elder statesmen” in our community.
Also mention the transition to gitbox? Lastly, I am concerned at the number of active committers in the project (i.e. people reviewing and committing PRs), and the number of good-looking PRs that we did not include in 1.18. I don’t know whether it warrants a mention in this quarter’s report, but I believe it is something that we urgently need to address, as I wrote a couple of weeks back[1].
