Hi Eryu,

By thinking about it a while, I get up my courage to apply this job, although I
know I'm not the best one can handle this job. Just this project is really
useful for my team. Nearly from I joined Red Hat, my jobs started to around the
xfstests. It's a great testsuit, which can cover most of our testing. I felt
relieved when you toke this maintainer, and admired your courage at that time,
that really helps us a lot. No matter what you decide, thanks again for all your
help, as previous colleague, as friend.

Thanks,
Zorro
