It was a very difficult decision, but the sheer throughput and attention required has reached a point where it's become infeasible for me time-wise. I do hate to leave you with all of that, but you can always ask me to pop into a discussion or cc- me, so hopefully that'll help :) And as you say, we have an amazing community of reviewers who all help enormously. > > Fortunately we have a growing list of reviewers. Absolutely and I've really loved seeing how people have developed - Lance in particular has grown wonderfully, Zi is a star, and in general every single person doing THP review - thank you for all of your contributions :) > > It's mostly thankless work, really; but I'd like to express my sincere gratitude > for all the work you put into co-maintaing THP over (/me checks MAINTAINERS) > more than 1 year!
