Thank you everyone for your help and support on this document. Other
edits to the document were:
1. Added existing arrow committer and DataFusion / arrow-rs
contributor  yangjiang Yang Jiang (ebay) to proposed committer list
(was not included initially inadvertently)
2. Add Wes to the proposed PMC

I will now start an official vote thread. Thank you all very much

Andrew
