Considering resignation as maintainer

[Dave Cooper]

Please do not resign. The scenario you describe says more about Stas
Bouarev than about you. If indeed you start receiving complaints from
people due to Stas' tactics, then please forward them to me.

By the way, how is it that Stas has control over Ediware packages?
