I am planning to

 * tag 1.8.0 final on Oct 21st (Sun);
 * go offline on Oct 22nd (Mon); and
 * come back online on Nov 12th (Mon).

Peff, could you be the interim maintainer as you've done in earlier
years while I was away?

Thanks.

Sure, I look forward to ruling the list with an iron fist...er, helping
contributors review their patches.
