I want to thank Josh for his wonderful contribution for the sparse proj= ect. I still have a lot of to learn to maintain a project like sparse. I will try my best. Let me share you with my view of the project. In my mind, sparse has two roles: 1) A general purpose C compiler front end. 2) A sanitize checker for the Linux kernel source. I like to see the project continue to evolve in this two directions. At= the same time I want to maintain the current style of lean and fast. Now I like to heard your view of the project as well. Where you want to the project go. After all, this is a community project. Thanks for all your support.
