No, I have not noticed yet. I did not know him personally, but it still
makes me sad now. Last year he wrote on Bitcoin Talk in a
thought-provoking way about his disease:

I think a very inspiring Character for all of us. Not only because of
his work.

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Reconsidering github

 It would be nice if the issues and git repo for Bitcoin Core were not
 on such a centralized service as github, nice and convenient as it is.

 Despite my complaining about github, I don't like the idea of moving
 somewhere else. The current way of working - to use github for storing
 the tree, and use a custom script for signing+merging - is fine with
 me.

 Github has a low barrier to contribution. Almost every open source
 developer already has a github account. Switching to something
 self-hosted makes it more difficult for people to contribute.

 Plus if we have to take the hosting upon ourselves, we have to handle
 sysadmin work ourselves as well. That's not a good use of the limited
 manpower available.

 Also it will be a lot of work to migrate over all the current issues
 and pulls. I don't look forward to that. I don't see the point of
 this, sorry.

I agree with Wladimir, keep it simple.  There being many other more urgent
questions to address, imho.
