I agree with the above plan and I will try to handle the RM role if nobody else volunteers. Since you no longer have time to drive time-based releases we should pick up the discussion we had back in October. For reference, my most recent statement is archived here: https://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2019-10/0179.shtml Now would be a good time to determine what needs to happen after 1.14 has been released. As far as I understand we have now run out of paid development resources and need to establish a purely volunteer-driven process that does not rely on anyone having more than a handful of hours to spend per month.
