Thanks for your efforts as project leader to build and improve team
morale.

(More seriously, yeah, we could have handled the base/standard freeze
better, but AJ's departure and the need to sync to a d-i release left us
a bit rushed and disorganized. We'll try to do better next time. At the
same time, I do find it hard to believe that maintainers weren't aware
that we were trying to stabilize and that changes in shlibs files in
packages at the bottom of deep dependency trees would be sources of
delays.)

Cheers,
