Thanks! As of today, the queue is empty of pending submissions; there are some postponed submissions and a number of pending reviews, but nothing pressing. I will take care of Quint if it's resubmitted. I will also keep an eye on Savannah lists as time permits. I would prefer to keep the @gnu.org address and the admin status, in case I have some time in the future. I intend to come back, at least when I retire in a few decades ;) Alex.
