Thank you very much for your hard work. Over the past two years, THP has
been extremely busy, especially with the addition of mTHP-related
features, which required a great deal of time and effort from the
maintainer. In my main role at my company, I am also responsible for THP
and memory reclaim functionality, so I fully understand how demanding
your work has been. Once again, thank you for all your hard work.

I also am relatively familiar with the implementation of THP. If David
is interested in my R: or need some features implemented, feel free to
let me know. I'm willing to help out and reduce the pressure on the
maintainers.
