Community Health:

Are there any risks to the sustainability of a project?

OpenDAL is in excellent health at the moment. We merge about five PRs per day, and our releases follow a stable pace.

Is the PMC capable of responding to security issues and performing a release of its projects if needed?

Yes, as I demonstrated in the Project Activity, we release at least one version per month and can release more if necessary. The PMC also does its best to maintain good dependencies.

Does the PMC need anything from the Foundation to improve on contributing to our mission of delivering software for the public good?

No requests for now.
