I know the board discourages including the mailing list stats, but they’re not
too shabby. Especially the subscriber count. Worth mentioning email activity
even if you skip the numbers.
- dev@arrow.apache.org:
- 467 subscribers (up 43 in the last 3 months):
- 615 emails sent to list (504 in previous quarter)
- iss...@arrow.apache.org:
- 6 subscribers (up 0 in the last 3 months):
- 399 emails sent to list (338 in previous quarter)
