Dear Calvin, Thank you for your quick response.
To your questions, 1. The DBI dependency in R is not mandatory. Our PPMC Yitao is working on the doc and will mark it as optional soon. 2. As described in my email, the external resources are "api.github.com" which are used to get the number of stars and forks of our GitHub repo. Based on ASF privacy policy [1], GitHub.com is considered fully supports GDPR. *Do you think we still should remove these api calls?* 3. Yes, we admit that the voting information from PPMC should be improved. We will require all PPMCs to provide items they check from now on. But I believe our PPMCs already know how to check the release. The vote guideline was published on April 5 2022, which was 5 months ago. 4. Our mentor George Percivall subscribed to the private channel using perciv...@ogc.org but not his ASF email. But indeed he is not active in our community, we will remove him from our mentor list. Regarding the 4 PPMC who didn't link their GitHub account, they still actively participate in the community including voting and discussion (except Zongsi Zhang, who will be removed in TLP PMC). They also create PRs on our GitHub and then other members merge the PRs. I have urged them to link their GitHub account ASAP. 5. DISCLAIMER-WIP was used in our last release (1.2.1). We are now using the standard DISCLAIMER and it will be put in the next release. See our commit [3] Hope my answers can address your concerns!
