Welcome back ;-).

Thanks very much for your trust over the past few weeks. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of work, though having high-quality patches and lots of review made it easy. I certainly have a new-found appreciation for how much work goes into being the maintainer.

It would be nice to have more people be able to participate in the bus-factor exercise in the future. Not just because it gives you a break, and improves our chances of survival. But it also left me with a sense of some good "do's" and "don't's" for how to be a better contributor.

Thanks, Taylor
