Hi Andreas,

thanks for the kind words.

The decision to step down after 8.0 was taken a long time ago,
before the recent problems on the list.  I had to find someone
willing to step in before I could announce this.

I agree "maintainer" is not necessary a single person: my main
purpose was to build a team, so that future maintainer(s) would
feel okay to act as you suggest, for strategic decisions rather
than everyday ground-level stuff.

This position is easy to describe but difficult to hold, because
it depends so much on the community.

This *is* the real challenge I see now: that each of us endorses
some kind of responsability, some co-maintainership feeling, and
act as constructively as possible---be it for org-mode, worg, the
website or whatever.

I already can feel some go in this direction and that's great :)
