if you want to do me a favour, please do not put it on your todo list. Even
more importantly: please try to not feel guilty for anything. If at all
possible, I'd like to assure you that you were not even close to being on the
list of people (if we imagine that such a list existed in the first place) that
I would make responsible.

Or you let other people take care of it. There are more than a dozen attempts
outside of sbuild. How hard can it be? I consider you one of the most capable
and clever people in the project and I greatly value your input into this
discussion. But were I to choose where to put your time, it would not be into
stretching your resources even more thinly by becoming the sbuild+podman
maintainer. If you are really eager I do not want to stop you either. But
please, please do not feel pressured by my last email.

Please accept my apology for how I phrased my last email. I did not want you to
feel sorry for anything.

I'm sincerely sorry. I did not mean to make you feel guilty.

Sorry.
