[josm-dev] Dirk is the new JOSM maintainer

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

   Dirk has already said as much in his "server moved" post but I'd like 
to confirm this with a proper subject.

When Imi stopped working on JOSM a few years ago I took over from him 
the job of looking after the JOSM SVN/Trac and the nightly builds and 
generally keeping an eye on what happens to JOSM. Since Dirk has shown a 
lot of commitment to JOSM and not only contributed his own improvements 
but also worked with contributors on their patches, and generally 
cleaned up our trac and flushed out a lot of tickets on which dust was 
starting to settle, I asked him whether he'd feel comfortable with me 
passing the baton on to him and he said yes. (Or more precisely, 
something along the lines of "well if you have to".)

So please welcome Dirk in his new role where he bears all responsibility 
for things that go haywire ;-)

I'll of course remain on the team and use my "old man" status to sneak 
my own pet patches past Dirk while he's not looking, or chip in when 
there's trouble, but I must admit that in the past months I usually 
heard about problems only after Dirk had solved them already anyway...

Bye
Frederik
