No, that decision is final. It's not that I decided yesterday, but it's 
something I have been thinking about more and more often over the last 
year. Especially over the last months I got more and more frustrated and 
not motivated when going through reviews. In too many reviews I said no. 
I don't want to be the one guy who is against everything. In such a 
situation it's better to step down as maintainer and enjoy coding.

I'm still around. Just ping me or add me to the review. I'll try to get 
phabricator notifications working for me by removing myself from the 
groups.

As said the decision to not be maintainer any more is final. I'll be 
around to help and give advice, also to code, but not to maintain.

Cheers
