You both will be dearly missed. Truly. I would like to step up as a co-maintainer in training. There is NO way I will be able to handle the load myself. I have worked on some modules and bits and pieces here and there, but will still need to know many things such as workflows. I believe we will require several to replace you two haha. Thanks for all of your work. Scarlett -- Scarlett Moore gpg: 7C35 920F 1CE2 899E 8EA9 AAD0 2E7C 0367 B9BF A089 Software Engineer @ Blue Systems Debian Maintainer developer in training.
