Thanks for bringing up this discussion, Andrew! I started contributing to the crate in the hopes of using it in DataFusion and delta-rs. I've thus far found it to be a high-quality codebase. I'd like to see the crate adopted throughout the Rust Arrow ecosystem, and if going under Apache governance helps that end, I support that.
My one question is: Do we have maintainers (not sure if it has to be a committer or a PMC member) in the Apache project who are ready to take on release tasks for the crate?
