I will say additionally: it is important to have discussions on the mailing list to explain / draw attention to major initiatives so others aren't left wondering what people's plans are.
I see from the 3/10 sync call notes "We talked about Jorge’s work on “Arrow2”. There is a desire to implement this new design in Arrow and we talked about creating a branch in the Arrow repo to continue this work." So there has been discussion about this, but only in video calls. It's OK to discuss these things in video calls, but please keep in mind that not everyone will be able to participate in the call (because of time zones or English fluency) and so it's important to have written discussions to explain.
