It was a recommendation given by several people in the plenary session I had 10 AM local time on March 25 at LSF. There was agreement in the sense that several people recommended this course action and nobody objected. > Joel has helped actually reviewing configfs patches even when I as running > the tree, and I explicitly confirmed with him that he is willing to > maintain it alone when I dropped the maintainership.

I did not do it out of disrespect or ill intent, I simply did not think about it. Thank you for correcting this, I appreciate that. I have sent emails to Joel at least 4 times since the first rust configfs series was sent, and I have offered my assistance in maintaining configfs if that is the reason of no response.
