[Sugar-devel] Stepping down as Sugar maintainer

[Anish Mangal]

Hi Sascha,

I'll never forget how I got ripped apart in one of the first sugar-core
patches I sent to sugar-devel, and I can't thank you enough for it!

It's been a great experience learning from you and I wish you all the best
in whatever you do next!

Cheers,
Anish
