Hi,

I intend to retire from the pkg-gnupg team and drop maintenance
of all packages under the hat of the team including gnupg, gpa and
the former-NMU-maintained gpgme/libgpg-error.

I don't have the time nor the interest to get involved with the
packaging of gnupg and Co again. And by having pushed everything
to GIT you guys also broke my local build workflow. So this is
probably a good moment to happily step back and leave the work
to you guys :)

It was an interesting and exciting experience to take over gnupg
maintenance with >140 bugs open, some even open for more then a
decade and bringing the bugcount down.

Fortunately gnupg and Co have an active and responsive upstream.
I enjoyed working with you Werner. Thanks for that! And I wish
you guys can keep up the good relationship between the projects.

I don't want to clone the GIT repos to remove myself from uploaders,
so please do this yourself. Otherwise I'll have to open some bug
reports :)

Thanks to Thijs for the teamwork. I enjoyed meeting you in person in
Utrecht :)

Bye for now, Daniel
