Anyone can find out who did this, via the logs of site-cvs@) section, very recently. Theoretically, "announce@" should be used by the Apache Software Foundation (by the members of ASF). Apache Newsletter Issue #1 and #2 were the "exceptions" of it. So, I felt hesitation in describing "Issuer: The Apache Software Foundation" at that newsletter, to tell the truth.

In such a situation, I thought that it was high time for me to declare the resignation and to pass a baton to someone. In our country, "Resignation of one's post" can be counted as a virtue of modesty (This is what the western people find it hard to understand our country, as a matter of fact) Yes, I knew that I was against the proverb of "A bird does not foul the nest that it is about to leave." , though :-) Thank you, -- Tetsuya.
