Specifically, I'd like to resign from the following sub-projects:

webtools.datatools
webtools.ejbtools
webtools.jeetools
webtools.servertools
webtools.webservices

On the one hand, this make conceptual sense since I never have contributed
much to these projects, beyond fixing a few features, applying a few
patches when no one was around, etc., and even more now than ever, would
not be in a position to participate much in any "project level discussions
for decisions".  But plan to stay in source editing (admittedly, sort of
for sentimental reasons :) and webtools.releng (I actually still work on
code there occasionally).

The timing of this change is motivated by me belonging in more than 16 unix
groups which causes no end of grief for me in my recent "releng" role
because my "new group" is in the "greater than 16 range" so removing these
5 groups will put me under the limit again, and give me more practical
control over some files/directories which is complicated by unix groups
limit (and NFS, I believe, out of the box, you need to recompile it to
change the constant, little that I understand it). (see bug 378708 if you
are interested in that kind complications I've been fighting).

So, Project Leads, the sooner the better :)

But, to repeat, this makes sense anyway, independent of the 16 group limit,
so that's just motivated me to do something I should have done before now.

It goes without saying, WTP is and will always be getting attention from
me, so this represents no change in that!

Thanks,
