Hey all, I agree that it would be good to get another release out.
One question I have is that we maybe should do a 1.17.1 release next to the 1.18.0 release as well? There seems to be quite some interest from the community: https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/pull/3460. And 1.17.x is the latest version that supports Java 8.
