I can imagine what it is like. And I do know that if you wouldn't have been there, 
that I would have allready stopped being a maintainer. So I hope you can find the 
right cooping mechanisms. I also had to work non-stop the last 4 to 5 weeks and it was hell.
So I wish you all the best.

PS: picking up all patches that have your review-by tag on it as we speack.

Kind regards,
Wim.
