-When I took over maintainership, I knew I would have to make Org more

-more knowledgeable than I am on many parts of the code.  Here is
-a list of the persons I could rely on, they should really be

+I started maintaining Org in January 2011 and officially stepped down
+in December 2024, when Ihor Radchenko agreed to become the new Org
+maintainer.  I was active for the first few years, then my involvement
+slowly decreased thanks to the help of new core contributors whom I'd
+like to thank.

-  Eric is maintaining the Babel parts of Org.  His reactivity here
-  kept me away from worrying about possible bugs here and let me focus
