Maintainer Change

[matthewmcneely]

Hi Dgraph Community,

I'm stepping down as Principal Maintainer of Dgraph.

I'm not leaving the project. I'm still going to be around in the community, reading the forum and GitHub issues, and I'll pitch in answering questions as they come up, especially the ones about internals, cluster operations, "OOM again?!" questions, and the odd "is this a bug or is it me" thread. What changes is that I won't be the one driving releases, triaging the backlog, or making the final call on direction. Shiva will be picking that up, and we've worked hard to make the handoff as seamless as possible.

I've learned a huge amount working on Dgraph and the related repos with all of you, and I'm grateful for the bug reports, repro cases, PRs, and your patience along the way. Thanks to Istari Digital's support, Dgraph is in a good place and I'm looking forward to watching where it goes from here, just from a slightly different seat.

Thanks,
Matthew
