Thanks, Jon!  I was going to send out an anonymous Google Form that
invited people to send up to 3 things that they were going well, and 3
things that was making them unhappy, in preparation for a "Are
Maintainers Happy?" session (which is a spin on the "Is Linus Happy"
session that we've sometimes had in the past), but since Jon has
volunteered, lets stick with that.

I'd also like to ask attendees to think about specific proposals to
address Maintainer Burnout.  Given the very long thread about
Maintainer Burnout, we've scheduled 60 minutes on the schedule for it.

The current draft agenda is attached below.
