Hi Code4Lib,

A final followup: the proposed "How Changes are Made to the Code4Lib Code
of Conduct
<https://github.com/code4lib/code-of-conduct/blob/main/how_changes_are_made.md>"
procedure was approved by a (unanimous) community vote. Thank you to
everyone who voted or participated in discussions about it! The Community
Support Squad will begin reviewing outstanding pull requests on the Code of
Conduct repository shortly.

Best,
Eric
