The rebrand has been done at [1]. The proposed PPMC would reach out to all downstream projects and help them to migrate to the new asyncband crate. The plan has been answered here and it's quite straightforward. I don't think we should spend time on writing it down but instead working on the concrete migration work. You may help in opendal's migration from mea 0.6.7 to asyncband 0.6.7 since they are logically identical.

I kept https://crates.io/crates/mea/reverse_dependencies because it shows the current downstream status. The migration to asyncband has been under processed.

Answer has 111 contributors on the GitHub contributor graph [2] and now includes 18 committers and a PMC of 14 members. Why do you think these numbers should be aligned? It is a common community status. [2] https://github.com/apache/answer/graphs/contributors?all=1 If you really want a concrete explanation: The other 5 contributors make 1~2 commits randomly. Andy has one commit from the Git history, but he spent adequate time in design discussion and review. I count on him for several significant decisions.
