Preparing for release 6.0.0

[Alessandro Molina <al...@ursacomputing.com>]

In preparation for release 6.0.0 which should probably happen within the
next 2-3 weeks according to the usual release cycle the Confluence page for
the release has been created (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ARROW/Arrow+6.0.0+Release )

Also all non Bug issues that were not started have been moved to version
7.0.0, please do not create new issues under 6.0.0 unless you expect to be
able to solve them within the next few days. Likewise, feel free to move
back to version 6.0.0 things that you expect to be able to address within
the next few days.

That leaves the release with a total of ~60 bugs pending. It's probably
unrealistic that those can be fixed in 2-3 weeks, so I encourage the owners
of those issues to go through them and postpone them to version 7.0.0
unless they plan to address them soon. The remaining ones will be moved to
version 7.0.0 before the release.

Thanks everybody for the big effort in contributing to a release that
includes nearly 500 issues and if you are aware of any blocker (apart those
already marked as blockers in the Confluence page) please raise them early
on so that there is enough time to address them.

FYI, I also created the skeleton for the release blog post at
https://github.com/apache/arrow-site/pull/153/files
This should give everyone time to fill the proper parts of the blog post
using github commit suggestions

Ignore the blog post date, I just put any random future date, which will
have to be updated when we actually publish the release.

Seems the tentative release date will probably slip to Monday/Tuesday next
week. There has been some delay generated by the release of Python3.10 in
the hope we could already include support for it in the current release.

There are a total of 30+ started issues as the moment, it would be great if
the owners could defer to v7.0.0 those that they don't think can close in
time for Monday

Aiming the first release candidate for Oct 14th/15th sounds good to me.

Re: Preparing for release 6.0.0

[Alessandro Molina <al...@ursacomputing.com>]

If possible I think it makes sense to aim for the week of 11th,
if there is any blocker or major issues that gets raised and for which we
need to wait we can defer to the week of 18th.

As far as it's 2nd/3rd week of the month I don't think it makes any major
difference.
Obviously when Krisztian will be able to cut the release plays the biggest
role here, so I'm willing to hear his opinion about what we can aim for.

Re: Preparing for release 6.0.0

[Andrew Lamb <al...@influxdata.com>]

FYI as we did with the arrow-rs 5.0 release, I will prepare an arrow-rs
6.0.0 release approximately concurrently with the other languages.

I will tentatively aiim to create an arrow-rs 6.0 candidate on October 14
or October 15 (assuming it is approved, it would be released on or around
October 18, 2021).

Please let me know if there are any concerns with this schedule
