to raise it here if they so desire.
This was my comment to the DB-PMC, in case that was the comment Dan was
referring to.
"I would just like to say that I kind of like being part of the DB
project. While we do have quite a few active committers and PMC
members, we do not have a particularly diverse group in terms of company
affiliation. Being part of DB helps mitigate that."
