Daniel, thanks for all the work you've done, experiments with
maintainer ship, atomic push, and community fostering are things I
don't think I could have ever made happen.

Personally I've wanted to apply this patch for a few years, thanks for
taking the final leap, patch applied to drm-fixes.

As for me, I'm not retiring, I'm not even sure how we are going to
rebalance things, with all the misc tools and patchwork I've got a
pretty decent workflow now that isn't based on me, but I'd like to let
Daniel push forward into gitlab and other areas and maybe I'll just
keep shovelling along with the legacy until he's ready :-)

Dave.
