@andygrove / @iffyio / @LucaCappelletti94 are there any issues we should ensure to include in the next release?

Once we have them I'll make an RC and propose publishing to crates.io

[LucaCappelletti94]

Nothing truly pressing comes to mind, concretely before the full postgres ROLE, POLICY etc.. gets merged it will take more than a week. I will stick to using the git link for now, hopefully it will be done by October's publishing deadline.

@alamb yeah no specific PRs to include, I think we should be good with a new rc

[LucaCappelletti94]

@alamb btw I do not have merge rights. If you would like me to help out and merge other people's PRs (e.g. #2411 ), happy to do so (when I have some time to spare).

Thankyou @LucaCappelletti94 - since this repo is governed by the ASF, we can't grant you commit rights without getting approval from the Datafusion PMC -- please give me a bit to see what can be arranged

In the interim, perhaps you can ping me either @iffyio or myself on PRs that you think are ready and we can fast track merging them

Ok!
