   > @alamb so can you please assign the relevant people, so we can merge this 
4 months old PR
   
   I can't assign anyone as I have no actual authority over anyone's time --  
All I can do is to beg and/or cajole others into helping do so. 
   
   One thing that would help me review this pr (and perhaps others as well) is 
a more complete description / documentation of what this code does, with 
examples, as I am not all that familiar with the current schema representation 
of lists (and not at all familiar with the older one) would to help provide 
context  (ideally in comments) of what this PR is doing
   
   
   For example, for me to understand comments like this, I need to go into the 
referenced URL and then try and match the terminology used there to what is 
used in this repo and PR. While I can do that  it will take time and time is 
the thing I seem to have the least of 
   
   ```rust
       /// This is used to convert [deprecated repeated columns] (not in a 
list), into their arrow representation
   ```
   
   Maybe it could give an example so that the code was more self contained. For 
example, an example of the current List representation and the old (deprecated) 
representation?
