Re: Reviewers for Kafka Connector Projection Pushdown

[Farooq Qaiser via dev <de...@flink.apache.org>]

Hi all,

A quick update on this: After many rounds of reviews over the past 6 months
(big thanks to Aleksandr!) we've arrived at a simpler, more robust design
for adding projection pushdown support to the Flink Kafka Connector. Since
the change has been thoroughly reviewed and approved, we'd now like to get
it over the finish line.

Would any committer be willing to take a final look and help merge it?
