Good morning Sébastien,

I can understand your unhappiness but sadly cannot do much alleviate it.

Regarding my role in team: I am limiting myself to changes that do not
include policy choices. I cannot take the responsibility of being the
main maintainer. Adding another binding which requires another piece of
specialized knowledge to maintain it clearly is a policy change, so I
will not do it.
