I guess my time has come as well...
With this commit, I'm not just dropping my maintainer entry, but I'm also
resigning from my duties as a board observer and NixCon project lead.
I also terminated my Summer of Nix contract today.
I'll also stop hosting the local NixOS meetup.
The only "project" I'll finish under the NixOS Foundation umbrella is
Google Summer of Code because the mentees aren't even remotely
responsible for why I'm leaving, and it would be unfair to leave them
hanging.
I'm grateful for all the things I was able to learn, for all the experiences
I could gather, and for all the friends I made along the way.
NixOS is what makes computers bearable for me, so I'll go and work on
some fork (*something something* you always meet twice in life).
In the past I was very active with Python packaging.
For several years now I was hardly around as maintainer,
so it does not make sense I am listed as a maintainer for
these makes. Looking back, I should have removed myself
as maintainer already much longer ago. Anyway, better late
than never.
It's been a fun ride, and I do intend to occasionally contribute
to Nixpkgs, but not in the same way it once was.
I am not able to take care of those for the time being, will readd
myself in the future once I have more time and energy.

I'm planning to do some structural changes to the Linux kernel expressions,
for this, I need to be aware of all PRs inflight which will be created.
This is not a permanent code ownership that I'm taking, I don't have the strength
to care seriously about the kernel like others, so I will drop myself at the end of
the work.

Given the prior attempts to encourage Nix package bumps to be more stable, we failed, failed and failed again.
Today again, we shipped a broken Nix (2.19.2) without sufficient testing to unstable-small and it broke some users.
As announced in the past, I am taking ownership of the package manager bumps and modifications
as seemingly no one is interested to do it inside of Nixpkgs.
