Hey hey!

We are pleased to announce that Dan Williams (dan at ioncontrol.co) will be 
taking over as the primary maintainer for libqrtr-glib, libqmi, libmbim, 
and ModemManager.

 From now on, new stable libqrtr-glib, libqmi, libmbim and ModemManager 
versions will be released by him. The tags in git will be signed with 
his key, and can be verified (git tag --verify <tag>) after having 
imported his public key (from 
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/ModemManager/0x734614319E26A433.asc 
or after synchronizing with the openpgp keyserver).

Dan is not unknown to the projects, quite the opposite! Dan was the 
single NetworkManager and ModemManager maintainer when I I joined the 
project more than a decade ago, before the separate project libraries 
existed. He wrote the original MM 1.0 DBus API and I happened to be one 
of the reviewers in the mailing list...

Dan currently works as a freelancer through Ion Control 
(http://ioncontrol.co). This enables him to offer custom integration and 
troubleshooting services for these projects. This type of engagements 
allowed me to keep on maintaining the projects when I was a freelancer, 
so I totally suggest every company interested to try it.

In recent months, I haven't been able to dedicate as much time as needed 
to maintainership tasks. I care a lot about these projects, and I think 
that a step back from me could mean many steps forward for them. I 
believe Dan's leadership and new energy will propel these projects forward.

Cheers!
