Sad to see you go, we wouldn't have been able come this far without you.

But good news, now you have more time to actually write more code, we
all know maintainers don't get much time to do that!  :)

Again, thanks for all of the work and effort you have done here, it is
greatly appreciated.

No one sane ever thought that.

thanks again for all of your effort, I suggest adding an entry to the
CREDITS file for the work that you have done as is traditional for when
maintainers step down.

thanks,
