I have heard from Amber occasionally and I believe she's healthy and safe, but if she wants to share more than that it's her own business :).  (Are any of us really "OK"?)

Absolutely OK with me.  More than OK.  Please do this!  I can't wait until we have the level of automation you've been working on for anybody to cut the release.  I take it this means you'll officially be the release manager for 20.10.0?

Let me know if you need any more permission bits to make progress.

This is fantastic news!  I really appreciate all the effort you're putting in to simplify and streamline the CI situation.
