Hi, The only comment on the draft I have is that there seems to be an inconsistency in the provided script
The section under "Project Status" mentions the addition of three new committers (Allison Wang, Martin Grund, and Haejoon Lee) and one new PMC member (Kent Yao). However, the section "Committers and PMC" only mentions the addition of Allison Wang as a committer. To rectify this, you may consider updating the "Committers and PMC" section to include the following: *Committers and PMC:* - Three new committers were added: Allison Wang, Martin Grund, and Haejoon Lee in July 2024. - Kent Yao joined the PMC on August 8th, 2024. I believe this will ensure consistency and provide accurate information about the recent changes to the project's governance structure.
