RMS steps down as Emacs maintainer

It’s not a big deal since it’s not the first time this happens, but it’s good to recall what hapenned:

Dan Nicolaescu started the thread in 2007/06/04:

Do you still plan to turn over Emacs maintenance to
someone else?
 
Have you made a decision on who is going to be the new
Emacs maintainer(s)?

RMS replied:

I would still like to do so.
I have not made a plan.

A long thread goes by the next 7 months until RMS decides:

Stefan and Yidong offered to take over,
so I am willing to hand over Emacs development to them.

Welcome Stefan and Yidong, my best wishes.
