That's extremely sad news :-(

You've been doing a splendid job since when you took over from Eric,
and in some sense you are the "savior" of GNUstep in Debian -- you've
made all the FHS-compliance work which was no trifle.  And transitions
are now a breeze thanks to the binNMUs.  They were a great pain before
when sourceful uploads were needed.

I guess we'll have to manage somehow without you...

I hope you'll be still around for that; your opinion is very valuable.
I'm (slowly) writing a GNUstep packaging policy and a uniform naming
scheme (to avoid inconsistent things like camaelon.app).  I also
started working on updating etoile, but this will have to wait until
we have clang in Debian.

I'm sure I won't be able to accomplish these tasks without some piece
of expert advice.

Yes.

Thanks for the warm words.  It's been a great pleasure working with
you.

I hope so too.

Should we remove you from the Maintainer and/or Uploaders fields?
