Dear Tom and Heartbeat community,
Congratulations on the remarkable growth and achievements of Apache HertzBeat during its incubation period! It’s truly inspiring to see the project grows so rapidly, and to witness the consistent release cadence and solid governance practices. From the details you’ve shared, it’s evident that HertzBeat has met many key criteria for TLP graduation. The clear contributor-to-committer process, strict adherence to "The Apache Way", and successful integration with other ASF projects demonstrate maturity. The regular releases and diverse contributions across code, docs, and testing further underscore its readiness. However, before officially moving towards graduation, I’d suggest ensuring all aspects of the Apache TLP graduation requirements are thoroughly reviewed. This could include double-checking community diversity metrics, ensuring sufficient global participation, and confirming that any outstanding technical debt or process improvements are addressed. I wholeheartedly support HertzBeat’s journey towards TLP status and am happy to contribute further feedback or assistance. Let’s collaborate closely to make this graduation a smooth and successful milestone for the project!
