Hey Kevin, Thanks for raising this, and I agree, it would be great to get another Rust release out. One minor remark, for pyiceberg-core, we've aligned the versions <https://pypi.org/project/pyiceberg-core/> with Iceberg-Rust, so that would also be 0.5.0 to avoid confusion.
Do you want to be the release manager? I'm also happy to help out.
