Hello all,

Due to personal reasons I have decided to pause my role as a Fedora
Contributor for now, possibly for indeterminate time.

This effectively includes:
- Stopping using Fedora Linux as an Operating System
- Stopping the following Fedora Contributor actions:
  * Writing to Fedora Magazine
  * Packaging software to the official repos
  * Helping out on Docs (though I haven't done that in a long while)

This means that, since I will orphan them, the future of certain
packages is a bit uncertain.

For the Fira fonts [0]:
We have FiraGO [1] that will need a new maintainer and Fira fonts [2]
that needs to go through whole review process [3] to be to re-added to
the repos as the newer bbox version.

There's also a personal project of mine called
bign-handheld-thumbnailer (thumbnailing for Nintendo DS and 3DS roms)
[4], while it's basically feature complete I don't really plan
currently on further developing it aside from fixing any possible
security bugs. Though I think it's fine if it goes orphan for a while.

While I won't be using Fedora as a user nor contributing as a Fedora
Contributor, I still see value in the "Fedora-RHEL" ecosystem, which
can be attributed to the work that goes on Fedora and "flows"
downstream.

In any case, I will be working this month on getting all things sorted
out on the FAS account so it can be mostly on an archived state or
similar.

By April 1st I should likely not have any current ties to the project.
