I had no idea what code changes were where.  Yes, I am able to go through 
the CVS logs and figure out which changes needed to go where, but I don't 
have time to deal with that.  Also, I'm not a CVS guru.  While I am 
capable of reading CVS manuals and learning, it's not something I want to 
do right this second.  So that's why I figured I'd step down as maintainer 
so that you guys can progress at the speed you want to progress at 
unhindered by me.

I can't tell if you're suggesting I remain on board as the maintainer or 
not.  Assuming you are suggesting that, I'm going to decline.  It requires 
more of me than I can give at this stage and I think I'll be much more 
effective as an occasional developer than as a project manager.

For now, I think I'm going to sit back and rest for a bit and hang out on 
the mailing lists.  Maybe I'll go through all the plugins I maintain and 
update them.  Then I think I may investigate some of the issues that users 
have that we've never gotten around to addressing and work on those.  Like 
an ISP plugin.
