Heya,

I took over maintenance of Pango 15 years ago.  Code in there that I wanted
to replace turned into HarfBuzz, and the rest is history.

Lately, as you might have noticed, I've been slow to respond to my
maintainer duties.  At the same time, Ebrahim rose to fill in for me.  He
has proven to be very capable to replace me at this point, so I believe
it's time to officiate that.

My involvement in the project wouldn't otherwise change.  I assure you all,
my change of employment has nothing to do with this.  It's just that.. it's
time for me to stop blocking others' contributions while I focus on other
things in life.

Ebrahim, thank you for your leadership.  I'm looking forward to seeing you
make mistakes and learn from it. :)  You are awesome.  I look forward to
talk to you in person next week.

Cheers,

behdad
Tehran

PS. Talk about "bus factor".  Or is that called "bomb factor" these days..
