Bart,

Your contribution to SRP was and still is important!
You led the efforts improving and stabilizing SRP driver and
adding the fast-failover logic which was needed for so long.

Roland,
I collaborated with Bart on SRP enhancement in the past year or so
and I think Bart is a perfect match for SRP maintainership.

Sagi.
