If there are no objections I would like to be the release manager for this release.
Futhermore, I would like to add FLINK-4732 (Maven junction plugin security issue) to the list of fixes for this release. Other than that, I think the list in this thread is good and we should now focus on getting a RC out. I would really like to do this today in order to start testing. The current state of affairs is as follows: - FLINK-4732 (Maven junction plugin security issue) has a fix in https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2586. @Max: Can you merge this today? - FLINK-4702 (Kafka async offset commit) has been merged. - FLINK-4329 (streaming file sources) has a fix in https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2546, which needs both another round of review and backporting to 1.1. Kostas Kloudas is working on this with Stephan as reviewer. @Stephan, Kostas: Do you think that this can be merged today? - FLINK-4311 (TableInputFormat) has a fix in https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2330 and is good to merge according to Fabian. @Fabian: Can you merge this today? - FLINK-4727 (https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2580) and FLINK-4723 (https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/2585) have been issued recently and look like they could be skipped for 1.1.3 (given that there is a test failure in #2580). I'm not too familiar with the Kafka connector though. @Tzu-Li, Stephan: Can you please comment on both of these whether they need to go in? – Ufuk
