I too am frustrated with the slow pace of things.

I am curious as well.  I've stated before that I
prefer transparency for such matters on the list,
but if it has to be private...

See, I can't help but notice that you are leaving
just as I happen to make my first CVS commits,
although I've had the priviledges for a while,
but I was asked to always get approval before
each commit.  For this reason, if your leaving
has anything to do with me and my actions (maybe
it doesn't), I would like to hear it directly
from you.  Otherwise, I will be left wondering,
maybe unjustifiably so, but I'll never know and
cannot guess (and cannot improve myself from
lack of constructive criticism).  A word from
you would ease my mind from the uncertainty,
even if it's something I may not like to hear.

Same here.
