@apolloconfig/committers @apolloconfig/members

Apollo community has signed up for Open Source Promotion Plan, which encourages university students to participate in the development and maintenance of open-source software. Students can apply for the project they are interested in and guided by the senior maintainer (community mentor) once they are selected.

This is a great opportunity to cultivate fresh blood in the open-source community, and I strongly encourage committers and members to sign up for the mentor and contribute tasks for the students to participate.
If you want to be a mentor but don't have a task in your mind, then you may use choose from the following candidates:

• 在多个环境下同步配置时, 可以同步已删除的配置项(Support sync the deleted items.) #4697
• feature request: document support multiple version #4327
• 配置类型增加table（key-list) 类型配置 #4243
• 管理平台希望可以支持 Yml 转 Properties #3066

I've created a wiki page dedicated to our tasks. Could you assist in populating it with the necessary details? This will enable us to submit our projects to the Open Source Promotion Plan.
