 - [ ] Read the ASF new committer guide:
       https://www.apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html
 - [ ] Read the [Beam committer guide](committer-guide.md)
 - [ ] Log in to https://whimsy.apache.org; that will confirm a working ASF account
       you can edit email routing for the account, and add other emails that
       you own you can directly edit mailing list subscriptions (for example,
       you might switch them to your ASF account - you can still post from any
       of your registered emails)\
 - [ ] Link your GitHub account with your ASF account at
       https://gitbox.apache.org/. Once you see the big green "Merge" button on pull
       requests, this is working.
