ANN: Change in libqmi/libmbim/MM maintainership

[Andreas Fett]

Thanks a lot for your work Aleksander!

I remember ppp and umtsmon times (and actually drove the switch to
ModemManager in our company). You've done a terrific job. I cant't thank
you enough!

I've seen Dan's work in the past and in the present and I'm sure the
project is in good hands.

Cheers!
Andreas
