I'm very pleased to announce our newest Pants Maintainer, Joshua Cannon! Since joining the Pants community a few months ago, Joshua has made many prominent contributions. These include: Flake8 plugin support, running Pylint with transitive dependencies, several enhancements to Python dependency inference, dynamic IU improvements, streamlined, mypy-friendly option registration, as well as many bug and documentation fixes. He's also been engaged with the community, answering user questions on Slack and making new users feel welcome. Given Joshua's commitment and contributions to the Pants project, we're thrilled to have him join the core Maintainer group, to help drive the project forward to ever greater success. Please join me in thanking Joshua for his contributions so far, and congratulating him on this well-deserved recognition!

Congratulations @bitter-ability-32190 and very much earned. It's a privilege to have you on the team. ❤️
