Retiring
Hello developers, my personal situation allows for much less time for KDE related work, at least during the Corona times. I would like to retire as soon as possible from these responsibilities: - bug triaging - release service - KIconTheme maintainer - KPlotting maintainer - KWidgetAddons maintainer For bugzilla, I see many new and old contributors doing awesome work with triaging, so departing here shouldn't be a big issue. I hope someone can continue checking responses to NEEDINFO bugs and REPORTED bugs that didn't get a reply within about two weeks. Regarding the release service work, I have made sure the load isn't all back to Albert. For future release work, Heiko Becker volunteered to help, but maybe another hand would be awesome, too. For the frameworks modules, I initially assumed each module must have a separate maintainer, so I volunteered. Today I see many modules still just community-maintained, and I hope the community can take over maintainance. Not that I did any relevant work here in the recent years... I might eventually continue to prepare some patches, so please keep all my accounts intact, but only de-list me as the maintainer. Thank you, Christoph

Hi Christoph, thank you so much for enduring work! I sometimes imagined me calling you on the phone Sunday morning at 5 am asking about some bug report that I vaguely remembered seeing but couldn't find and you immediately knew what I was talking about, spat out the 6 digit bug report number, and hung up ;) Hope to sometimes see you around, still! Cheers Kai Uwe

Thanks a lot Christoph for all your work! As I myself has had the pleasure of quasi-retiring but never quite leaving - may the same happen to you ;-) I.e.: Take your well earned break and come back whenever it suites you again!

I have learned a great deal from you, and I hope my bug triaging efforts are able to compare with yours! Nate

I can relate to that :) Thanks for all the enduring work you did for KDE, Christoph! Come back when time permits it again!
