Thanks, Vlastimil. I really appreciate the trust!

Also, thank you for the patient and constructive feedback and for taking the
time to engage with newer contributors like me on-list. I especially
appreciate you proactively Cc'ing me on relevant slab threads (even when I
wasn't on the original Cc). It helped me stay in the loop and get involved
more deeply. Happy to help with slab reviews going forward.

And thanks, Harry, for the kind words. I really appreciate the encouragement.
You were the first to Cc me on your slab patches and actively invite my input,
which really helped me feel involved and start contributing more. I've learned
a lot from our collaboration and look forward to continuing to work together.

Thanks also to Lorenzo for the congratulations.
