Aloha,

FYI: Since 5.3.0 is out and we are now in maintenance mode for this  
branch, there is not really a need for a release manager in the strict  
meaning of the "title". In other words we can now go back to the  
traditional model of having a single RM that is mostly busy with  
technical decisions. As such I am stepping down to avoid the confusion  
that people keep thinking of me as someone who can actually review  
patches. I will of course continue to do my best to track todo items  
for the various branches.

Go Johannes! :)

regards,

Hi Lukas,

thanks a lot for your outstanding work! And maybe it attracts you  
organizing the release of PHP 7.0?

Cheers,

Hi Lukas,

Thanks for stepping up and helping Johannes make the PHP 5.3 release
come together.
Your tracking skills are definitely an asset :)
