Stepping down

Stepping down

[David Dillow]

Today was my last day at ORNL, and my future endeavors will leave even
less time to maintain the SRP initiator.

My thanks especially go to Bart, for keeping the pressure to improve
alive, and for driving so many of those improvements.

Hello Dave,

Thanks for all the time you have spent reviewing and testing SRP
initiator patches. Such maintainer work is unglamorous but important -
it is due to the combined effort of all kernel maintainers that the
Linux kernel earned its high quality reputation.

Roland, what is your preference with regard to maintainership of the SRP
initiator driver ? My plan is to continue contributing patches to the
SRP initiator driver at about the same pace as I had done in the past.
Do you prefer to take over maintainership of this driver yourself or is
it okay for you that I become the official maintainer for this driver ?

Thanks,

Bart.

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.

Vote for Bart, he is improving SRP consistently, does good job on this.

First of all, thank you Dave for the help on SRP.  I apologize for
being busy at various points and not responding to earlier emails, but
your efforts are definitely very much appreciated.  Best of luck in
your new endeavours.

Second, Bart, yes I would appreciate it if you could take over SRP
submaintainership.  What email address would you like listed in the
Maintainers file?

Thanks,
  Roland
