Aw, man ... I totally get needing to step back, but we can't let you
disappear from THP that easily :) You've put a crazy amount of time
into it, and your reviews and judgment have made a massive difference.
We'd miss you badly.
Could we talk you into staying on as a reviewer for now? Zero pressure to
keep up with everything or carry the maintainer load. Just hang around,
jump in whenever you feel like it, and come straight back as a maintainer
whenever life gives you the room.
Seriously, Lorenzo, THP still needs you. Please stick around!
Thanks, Lance
