The report looks good to me, but I don't think we should use the GitHub PR mechanism to draft these. I provided some of my reasoning on the PR, but basically:
1. I don't think it adds value to be archived to the website, since the reports are already canonically archived elsewhere in ASF's infrastructure, and these have little to no value to website visitors. It's strange to use the GitHub PR mechanism to draft something that isn't targeted to be published on the website, and I don't think these should be published to the website, as that would be redundant, confusing, and potentially more work to maintain (keeping sync'd to mailing list). 2. Drafting them only on the PR excludes people who follow the mailing list but not GitHub issues, and while that's probably okay for day-to-day activity, it's probably not okay for discussion points that stand apart from bugs/code issues. The alternative is to do what you did here and post in both places, but that makes it harder to follow, because now everybody needs to follow a discussion in two places instead of one. It's also hard to have an interactive conversation about anything we might be discussing, because you have to merge the chronology of the activity of both places in order to follow the discussion.
