So I talked about this with Sumit privately but I think
it might make sense to have me step down as maintainer when
this goes out of staging. I mostly worked on Ion at my
previous position and anything I do now is mostly a side
project. I still want to see it succeed which is why I
took on the maintainer role but I don't want to become blocking
for people who have a stronger vision about where this needs
to go (see also, I'm not working with this on a daily basis).

If you just want someone to help review or take patches
to be pulled, I'm happy to do so but I'd hate to become
the bottleneck on getting things done for people who
are attempting to do real work.

Thanks,
Laura
