[ANNOUNCE] New Git PLC Member

Peff announced toward the end of December last year in [1] that he was taking a 5 month break from Git and leaving the PLC, the committee representing the Git project as part of Software Freedom Conservancy. He mentioned that Taylor Blau could replace him in the PLC and Taylor agreed to that. We haven't heard about other nominations or self-nominations since.

We are happy to announce that Taylor Blau is now on the committee. Welcome to him!

As before, if you have project governance questions, the best point of contact is git@sfconservancy.org, which goes to the four committee members (Junio, Ævar, Christian and Taylor) along with a few Conservancy folks. Though unless it specifically needs to be private, we'd generally encourage people to raise issues first on the list so the whole community can discuss.

Christian for the Git PLC

Thanks, Christian, and the rest of the PLC for this opportunity. I look forward to serving on the PLC alongside you, Ævar, and Junio.

On a practical note, it feels like we are somewhat overdue for a "Git + SFC status update", the last one being back from 2018 in [1]. I'll see if I can gather some more up-to-date information from Conservancy and send out an updated status report, hopefully soon.

Thanks, Taylor
