Hi Tim,

Thank you for all your help, patience, and guidance throughout this
process, especially as a first-time RFC author. And I really appreciate
you going to bat for this RFC in the thread---thanks again.

I do intend to try to get this into 8.6. Here's the schedule I'm planning:
  - Intent to vote: within the next day or so
  - Open voting: Monday July 28th ~04:30 UTC
  - Voting closes: Monday August 11th ~04:30 UTC

If the vote passes, what's the process for getting the PR merged?

Best,
Caleb
