Thanks, alamb, I booked 46 in advance!

@alamb I'll also do some updates in the issue summary.

Considering that this is the first time I've been involved in this process, could you please remind me if some critical time comes up and I don't do anything about it?

Yes of course. Thank you @xudong963

I am planning to be involved in this one too -- perhaps I can help by testing the release e.g. with delta-rs and influxdb_iox
