I understand your reasons completely. I would have done exactly the
same.

I can speak only for myself. I have been unexpectedly flooded with a lot
of work and other real life issues and I have had very little time for
gnome. Actually, I have been some days without reading mail and I have a
lot of pending mail that I don't know when I will be able to answer.

I hope to continue hacking galeon, but I can't commit to any schedule. I
hope that Philip, Tommi and Yaneti want to continue with this too. I
have seen some patches from other people too. And I hope that Marco does
not forget completely about galeon.

I don't want to be the maintainer of galeon for pretty much the same
reasons as Philip.

IMO, there is more work to be done that what it seems (maybe I think
this because I have many things to do myself). But it is quite usable
today.
