Assemble Kubernetes 1.25 Release Team 🚀 🕐 🎉

[jrsapi]

¡Hola Kubernetes fam! The current release team is doing a stellar job getting the release ready and bringing this cycle to its end. But the end of a journey is a positive thing as it marks the beginning of something new, which is the 1.25 release team!

Please review the Release Team Selection Process docs for details on the process and criteria.

At this stage, we only require nominations for Role Leads. Once role leads are nominated we will then send out a shadow application survey.

It's been an enormous honour and pleasure to be the Kubernetes 1.24 release lead, and I've had the good fortune to have been supported by many excellent individuals on the release team. 🙇

Going forward into Kubernetes 1.25, I'm excited to nominate @cici37 as the next Release Lead. 🎉 Cici has been an excellent addition to the release team over the last few releases, and I'm excited to see her lead 1.25. Congratualtions Cici Huang!
