The truth is that I am in no position to verify my identity
to the Debian project, ever since the time it began demanding
three signatures of trust. So even if I desired to commence
an up-to-date packaging effort, there is no sensible means
for me to achieve that endeavour. Therefore I hereby annonce
my desire for another responsible and devoted person to take
over maintenance of "gnurush". This is a piece of software
that deserves continued use under diligent maintainership.
I did try my best during a period in time, but now I leave!
