[RELEASE] Assemble the 1.8 Release Team

[DomFleischmann]

With Kubeflow 1.7 being released it is time to assemble the Kubeflow 1.8 Release Team!

I really enjoyed my time working as a Release Manager and I would like to nominate @DnPlas as the next Release Manager to lead the 1.8 Kubeflow Release :partying_face:. Daniela has been part of the Release Team for the last 3 releases and has always been a vocal and proactive member who has helped us deliver these last excellent releases. I'm grateful for all her help and I believe she will do an excellet job as the next Release Manager!

With that, I would also like to encourage everyone to participate in the 1.8 Release Team! The Release Team welcomes both new and existing members of the Kubeflow community and is a great way to get started with the project.

Release team members are responsible for working with various WGs, and as part of the release team, you'll be assigned to a specific WG to help with the communications and collection of requirements throughout the release. Note that more than one member can be assigned to the same WG. You can learn more about the Kubeflow release process and the release team in the release handbook.

To be part of the release team, please leave a comment with which working group you like to be assigned to. We look forward to your involvement!

The call of participation will close by end of April!
