Hello all,

In order to be more inclusive and align with the 
Git<https://sfconservancy.org/news/2020/jun/23/gitbranchname/> and 
GitHub<https://github.com/github/renaming#new-repositories-use-main-as-the-default-branch-name>
 standards for the default branch of new repositories, I would like to propose 
renaming the ‘master’ branch to ‘main’ in the Arrow project. I am not sure if 
there has already been discussion about this, but I tried searching the mailing 
list archives and did not see anyone mention this yet.

In terms of tooling, GitHub has enabled renaming branches from the web 
UI<https://github.com/github/renaming>. I’m happy to help with this change in 
any way that I can!

Thank you,
Fiona
