[ANNOUNCE] Weekly Community Update 2020/38

[Konstantin Knauf-4]

Dear community,

happy to share a brief community update for the past week. A lot of FLIP
votes are currently ongoing on the dev@ mailing list. I've covered this
FLIP previously, so skipping those this time. Besides that, a couple of
release related updates and again multiple new Committers.

Flink Development
==============

* [releases] Apache Flink 1.12.2 was released. [1]

* [releases] The first release candidate for Stateful Functions 2.2.0 was
published and already cancelled :) A new release candidate will probably be
published today. [2]

* [releases] Robert has shared another update on blocker and build
instabilities for the upcoming release of Apache Flink 1.12. There are five
weeks left till feature freeze. [3]

* [releases] Chesnay started a discussion thread on releases flink-shaded
12.0 containing upgrades to some of Apache Flink's core dependencies. [4]

* [cep, sql] Kosma has started a discussion on supporting timeouts in
MATCH_RECOGNIZE, which would allow a pattern to fire/match in the absence
of an event. [5]
