Hi Elijah, I am not casting a vote on this release, but I noticed a few process-related details that could be improved for better visibility and compliance:
1. Email Subject: The current subject line is missing the [VOTE] tag and the RC number. Without the [VOTE] tag, many IPMC members may miss this email due to filters. 2. Use Permalinks: The link provided in the body points to a search query. It is best practice to use the direct thread permalink from lists.apache.org to help reviewers verify the history.Correct link for this thread: https://lists.apache.org/thread/9204t2mytq5xflhb385xkmrrrghzmgf0 3. Summarize the Vote: Please explicitly summarize the PPMC vote result in the proposal email (e.g., "The vote passed with 3 binding +1 votes..."). This provides immediate context for the IPMC. 4. Close the PPMC Vote: I noticed the community vote thread was not formally closed with a [RESULT] email. It is recommended to send that closure email to the dev list for archival purposes. Hope these suggestions help with the process) Best, Shuxin Pan On Tue, Jan 20, 2026 at 3:23 AM Elijah ben Izzy <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > This is a call for a vote on releasing Apache burr 0.41.0-incubating > release candidate 3. > > The artifacts for this release candidate can be found at: > https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/burr/0.41.0-incubating-RC3. > > The Git tag to be voted upon is: v0.41.0.
