THP is, unfortunately, one of the busiest MM components, and also the ones where
we have to deal with significant legacy code, many suboptimal past design
decisions ... and plenty of ideas for improvements that require constant
pushback to not make the situation even worse. The time spent on discussions
alone is massive.

Fortunately we have a growing list of reviewers.

It's mostly thankless work, really; but I'd like to express my sincere gratitude
for all the work you put into co-maintaing THP over (/me checks MAINTAINERS)
more than 1 year!

I'm sorry but I can't let you go entirely ;) I'll make sure to CC you on patches
that need your feedback!

Thanks again, Lorenzo!
