Hi, Xiao. After your last email about him, I observed his strong and persistent activity. Thank you for your mentoring. As of today, he is the Top-9th contributor. Do you think you need more time to mentor him for additional dimensions? From my side, it looks enough and I'd like to nominate Max Gekk as a committer as we talked in 2020.

Spark SQL is very active. There are also many SQL features he can help. For example, improve the performance of our file sources, (https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/27366); migration of built-in file sources to DSV2; DSV2 follow ups; ANSI mode enhancements. I believe we will see various contributions from him in the next Spark 3.1 release Bests, Dongjoon.
