[mlmmj] New mlmmj maintainer: Ben Schmidt

[Morten Shearman Kirkegaard]

Dear list,

It has become increasingly clear that I am a bottle neck for the
development of mlmmj. In the project's best interest, I have passed on
the maintainer token.

Please welcome the new maintainer: Ben Schmidt.

Ben will be leading the project from now on. He will continue the
original style of the project -- a simple, easy to manage, easy to
develop, mailing list manager.

Please support him, and keep testing new releases, translating
listtexts, and sumbitting patches.

Happy Hacking,
Morten

But what a pretty bottleneck :) Thank You very much Morten, for an
excellent job!

A heartfelt welcome from me as well :)

Thanks for the welcome, guys. I look forward to being the new bottleneck. :-O

A big thanks from me to the previous maintainers, too. The project is only in such 
a good place now, and such a pleasure to hack on, because of your excellent work.

It is somewhat of an honour to be trusted enough to be maintainer after such a 
short time in the community. I feel like I barely know anyone here yet.

I look forward to getting to know people better, though. To speed the process, I'd 
really love it if people would write me a brief message to introduce themselves, 
and let me know what role they play in the mlmmj community.

As for me, I'm Ben, the newly appointed upstream maintainer, still discovering and 
defining what precisely my role will be. I'm trained in Computer Engineering, 
Mathematical Physics and Secondary Teaching, and after doing some Educational 
Research this year, am embarking on a teaching career.

Smiles,

Ben.
