Hi Bastien,
have been afk for some days, please let me close up to all thanks seen here.
What's have been quite impressive already was the pure amount of mailings, you delt with day by day.
Having seen you working that hard also raises some concern for now: that daily galeere must be costly: whoever undertakes it, will pay a price. It's your honor having payed
it for all of us. So far can't consider this stepping down anything else as a loss for org-mode.
While ignoring circumstances of your resign, it's no secret, some unpleasant events happended last weeks, made your task more burdensome as necessary.
I'm not speaking of possible errors - everyone who works will make errors. Who works outstanding might make outstanding errors.
Purely abstractly spoken(!)
OTHO the very best mind a team has --i.e. Carsten--, should not take the most burdensome tasks. IMHO Carsten should be spared for strategic decisions, define and decide the
path of further development.
In case you didn't lose your interest and just that recent unpleasant experiences caused your resign, what about staying maintainer backed by all this confidence revealed
beside of some new experience?
Also maintainer must not mean being strictly a single person, even if languages grammar doesn't foresee otherwise.
Regarding recent difficulties, probably it's wise, if Carsten has a closer look, decides in cases from time to time.
IIUC Emacs itself was driven in a similar way last years more or less outspoken - consider this part of it's success story.
Best regards,
Andreas
