I wouldn't describe the ongoing activity as "moderate". It seems
pretty busy, at least as busy as ever, anyway. Maybe that's what you
meant, but it feels like the word "moderate" carries the connotation
of "mediocre" to me. I think we've been pretty active addressing the
2.1 issues. Not everything being investigated results in a commit,
though, and you've explained that already when you talk about a
decline in GitHub activity... although I don't think that decline is
really that significant. You also went on to describe work planned
towards a final 1.10 release, work on multiple 2.1 releases, a 3.0
release, work on 3.1, and we also have work on the elasticity branch.
This is all happening concurrently, so I don't think "moderate" is a
good descriptor.

"metatdata" is misspelled. Should be metadata.

While we haven't formally voted or anything, it seems likely that the
elasticity work will be a 4.0 release, and that seems like the current
plan. Saying we haven't decided yet makes it seem like it could still
be a 3.x release, and while that's technically true in that no version
number is final until we vote on it, I don't think any of us believe
that it will be a 3.x release. I would either omit this entirely, or
just mention that it's likely to be a 4.0.

You mention the committer and PMC ratio is roughly 1:1. I think it
would be good to explain that the discrepancy is due to PMC members
voluntarily electing to go emeritus. You could say something like "It
is our practice to invite committers to be PMC members at the same
time, but some PMC members have subsequently elected to go emeritus".
(Even better if you can say that more succinctly than I did.)

You say we're working on "two significant development efforts". I
would say "*at least* two significant development efforts", as some of
us are also working on things that are outside of that (like the
no-chop merge feature for 3.1, and some other things like that, which
are not dependent on elasticity). Maybe those other things aren't as
"significant", but that's subjective, so I think adding "at least"
makes it more accurate.
