[VOTE] Release Apache Arrow 25.0.1 - RC1

Hi,

I would like to propose the following release candidate (RC1) of Apache
Arrow version 25.0.1. This is a release consisting of 9
resolved GitHub issues[1].

This release candidate is based on commit:
beccec0d0c451b7aa3e4530416ac431b3c035c69 [2]

The source release rc1 is hosted at [3].
The binary artifacts are hosted at [4][5][6][7][8][9].
The changelog is located at [10].

Please download, verify checksums and signatures, run the unit tests,
and vote on the release. See [11] for the SHA-512 checksum for this RC and [12]
for how to validate a release candidate.

See also a verification result on GitHub pull request [13].

The vote will be open for at least 72 hours.

[ ] +1 Release this as Apache Arrow 25.0.1
[ ] +0
[ ] -1 Do not release this as Apache Arrow 25.0.1 because...

I verified the Arrow C++ 25.0.1 RC1 on macOS arm64 with:

  TEST_DEFAULT=0 TEST_CPP=1 ./dev/release/verify-release-candidate.sh
25.0.1 1

This verified the source tarball signature and checksums, built Arrow C++,
and ran the C++ test suite successfully.

I needed TZ=UTC locally to avoid a timezone-sensitive failure in
gandiva-projector-test (DateTimeTestProjector.TestDateTime). This issue was
fixed on main by GH-50400, but that fix is not included in 25.0.1 RC1.
Since I was able to complete verification successfully with TZ=UTC, I do
not consider this an RC blocker.

Regards,
Rossi Sun

Verified checksum and signature. I get a test failure in Gandiva due
to time zone handling, I should've marked [1] as a backport candidate.
This isn't a release blocker at all but I thought I'd mention it.

Verified on macOS 15 / Apple Silicon:
  - Source tarball signature and checksums.
  - Binary wheel (cp311, macosx arm64): sha512 and GPG signature verified;
full pyarrow test suite passes (7514 passed; the Flight TLS and parquet
  - Binary wheel (cp311, macosx arm64): sha512 and GPG signature verified;
full pyarrow test suite passes (7514 passed; the Flight TLS and tests that
need ARROW_TEST_DATA / PARQUET_TEST_DATA also pass once those are provided).
  - Source build with TEST_PYTHON=1 (Flight/Gandiva disabled): builds fine
and the core Python suite passes from source (7404 passed).
  - GH-50326 specifically: to_pylist() on nested types improves as expected
over 25.0.0 (list<string> 3.4x, struct 10x, map 7.8x on 500k-row arrays),
results exactly match the per-Scalar conversion across
nested/sliced/chunked cases, and Spark's 4.2 switches to the native path
with this version — outputs match its fallback implementation exactly.

Thanks Raúl for driving the patch release!
