Hi Behdad,

Thank you for giving me a great opportunity and the kindly email
announcing the change of the maintainership. what I'm waiting for
reviews isn't more than what you had experienced in the past but I
believe my initiative would helps a lot of people who are also waiting
for bug fixes and improvements. I hope and I'll do my best to not make
any mistakes :)

Once the transfer is done, I'll start to prepare the next release,
hopefully in a few weeks.

Thanks so much.
