Hi, all. I'm recognizing that I am no longer working on Python packaging and probably will not do so anytime in the foreseeable future, so I am departing the PyPA (as well as some other related mailing lists, fora, and groups).

I've learned so much since I started working with you all in 2016 (some of which I shared in my PyCon US keynote last year, "Untold stories from six years working on Python packaging" https://harihareswara.net/posts/2024/references-pycon-us-keynote/ ), and it's been an honor to collaborate with you.

In particular: if it weren't for working on Python packaging with you, I would not have worked on the pip resolver overhaul from January through December of 2020. And in that chaotic year, working on pip with the team that we put together helped keep me steady. Working with great colleagues, frequently delivering stuff to people who gave feedback, towards an important goal that would materially help a lot of people, strengthened and sustained me.

I've removed myself from the GitHub org (as far as I can gather) and, after sending this email, I'll remove myself from this committers' email list; if you want to say goodbye, please cc me. And please do feel free to contact me anytime with questions or requests for advice, or requests for volunteer or paid work. I may say no, but I might not!
