The libraries are not trivial there is quite some complexity, and you managed to master that code, not a small achievement ! I'm really not able at that point to insure the same level of followup for those projects myself, that's obvious for anybody monitoring those lists lately. I will join the others thanking you for everything you provided, I hope you have a good plan forward, obviously you have a lot of technical skills while being able to act in a leading way !

Re: [xml] Stepping down
Nick, I'm very sorry to hear that you're stepping away from the project. You've done an enormous amount of work over the past few years, and you'll be missed. Thanks for everything, and I hope to get to work with you again at some point in the future.

Re: [xml] Stepping down
Thank you Nick for being a good steward and being responsive to the community. There's no interest from Redhat or such around providing ongoing support for libxml2?

[xml] Stepping down
I never really asked for it but in the last years I became de-facto maintainer of both libxml2 and libxslt. Luckily, I was able to fund my involvement through Chrome VRP bug bounties and OSS-Fuzz integration rewards. Big thanks to Google for these outstanding programs. Unfortunately, returns from security research are diminishing quickly and I see no way to obtain a minimal level of funding anymore. So I'm stepping down as contributor and maintainer. Thanks to everyone who reported bugs and contributed patches! Nick ___ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
