Help me secure some free time for org-mode in 2020

Dear all, I have been involved in Org-mode development when Carsten offered me to take over maintainance, back in 2010. I still feel grateful for the opportunity he gave me: his dedication to make Org a useful tool for Emacs users was examplary and I did my very best to give to the community as much as I received from it. Over the last years, Nicolas de facto took over maintainance and it was a real relief for me: I was struggling with my finances and this was eating up all my free time. Nicolas steadily played the role I played for years, reassuring users that someone was on board, that bugs would be fixed and new features discussed on this mailing list. My plan for 2020 is to ensure a smooth transition while I step down as the maintainer---at least by the end of 2020, probably by July. As my timetable (and family life) has become more stable, I am more confident I can dedicate some of my free time again to maintaining until the transition is done: also because there are many ideas I would like to try, discuss and implement---Org possibilities still feel endless! If you want to help me secure some free time, please go ahead!

Thanks! -- Bastien
