> How many bug fixes you think we have on master that are really need a
backport for 1.12.x?

Unfortunately I have no idea. Most bug fixes are merged before I join the
community. The only bug fix that I am aware of is
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PARQUET-2160.

IMO, the best time to backport commits is when they get merged to the
master branch and then link those commits with a target unreleased version.
However, the Parquet JIRA project did not create the 1.12.4 unreleased
version (which I tried to create but failed due to lack of permission), so
we lose the chance to keep track of necessary commits this time.

What about failing this 1.12.4-rc0, and releasing the same content as
1.13.0? We should do better version management in the future. I don't think
it is urgent to release a 1.12.4 version until we have received sufficient
feedback and requests from users.
