alamb opened a new issue, #22882:
URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/22882

   DataFusion is cranking out features and releases, even as the community 
grows (the 54 release had [139 
contributors](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/main/dev/changelog/54.0.0.md)!)
   
   It is still mind boggling 🤯  to me that the project moves along without a 
central planning authority. However, the decentralized model seems to be 
working well and I see no reason to change it. 
   
   The lack of a central authority **DOES** mean we have to make an extra 
effort to coordinate, and to do so we have a history of doing a public roadmap 
discussions (see past list on 
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/21036), most recently by @adp2201 
in  https://github.com/apache/datafusion/discussions/21017 🙏 )
   
   These discussions typically serve to 
   1. Communicate what maintainers plan to work on / what they view as 
important 
   2. Help would-be contributors find areas that are likely to get maintainer 
attention (and thus faster reviews)
   3. Give a forum for community members to articulate their priorities (and 
maybe find maintainers that share the priorities)
   
   Thus, I hope this ticket will foster a new new discussion for the remainder 
of 2026 and see what people are going to build next!
