[DISCUSS] iceberg-rust backlog and volunteering

[James Lamb <ji...@gmail.com>]

Hello All,

I recently submitted a PR to the iceberg-rust project on GitHub (
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-rust/pull/2396). The PR itself has been
marked as stale, which prompted me to write this email/join the list.

 It seems that the project is running low on resources. I hope that saying
that isn't offensive; that's not the intention of this email. I'd like to
see how I can help the project, while I don't have a huge amount of free
time, I do have a a few hours per week that I reserve for contributing to
opensource projects, and I'd like to help out where I can.

This obviously comes unsolicited and without any existing trust, but I
figured that at least making contact to see _how_ I can help would be a
starting point. Keen to discuss further.

Thanks to everyone's hard work on the project.

Regards,

James Lamb.
