Yes, always sad when someone leaves...

However, please file a orphaning bug as recommended in [1].

If you remove your name from d/control in the repository, the correct
procedure is also to set the Maintainer to the QA-Team, as otherwise the
package violates the Policy §3.3. 
(You can also leave your name there, if you want. The one adopting the
package will remove it then (in this case its recommended to file a
wishlist-bug against your package))

So, yes, well, thanks for your past contribtions to Debian. Be welcome
to come back if you feel so at any time.
