You both will be dearly missed. Truly.

I would like to step up as a co-maintainer in training. There is NO way I will 
be able to handle the load myself. I have worked on some modules and bits and 
pieces here and there, but will still need to know many things such as 
workflows. I believe we will require several to replace you two haha. Thanks 
for all of your work.
