Hey @knadh , I’m interested in being a part of this effort.

I’m not too familiar with the Apache Foundation but I have seen the impact that [NumFocus](https://numfocus.org/) has had on the Scientific Python ecosystem. Something that might be relevant to this effort is the NumFocus [Sponsored Projects vs Affiliated Projects](https://numfocus.org/projects-overview).
