Hello,

A quick message to let everyone know that I am stepping down from
my role as GDB Release Manager. Andrew Burgess and Simon Marchi,
two of GDB's Global Maintainers, have volunteered to take on
this role in my place. Please join me in thanking them for generously
offering their time to keep our releases running smoothly.

Attached is the patch to gdb/MAINTAINERS which I will push next
to master, making the change official.

Speaking for myself, I am deeply thankful for having been trusted with
this responsibility. Thanks to to hard work of all the contributors,
testers, Area Maintainers and Global Maintainers, we managed over
a period of about 20 years to produce almost 60 releases in total.

I'm excited to see such long time contributors as Simon and Andrew
stepping in. I don't see the project being as active as ever, so
I look forward to many more releases!
