[meta-security,0/1] Time to move on.

I have been maintaining this layer for over 12 years and
I have had a blast being a layer mainter over those years.
Thanks for giving me the opertunity.
Its time to pass on the baton for maintanership of this layer. 

I'll let the The Yocto Project TSC decide who the suitable replacement(s) may be.

  Remove self as Maintainer

Thanks for looking after it for all that time!

I'm not sure we let you off that easily! Do you have any suggestions or
preferences on who might make a good replacement?

I ask since you're probably much more well placed to have an idea of
who might have the right skills or who might not. Happy to take
feedback publicly and/or privately.

Cheers,

Richard

Hello,
Thank you Armin for the work over the years. As you guess meta-security is
one
of my main layers.

I've been silent for a while (because we're preparing a bigger
announcement), but
volunteering to co-maintain the layer has been on my TODO for a while. This
is
the moment to do it now then.

If there are no other people who would like to do it, I volunteer for this
layer.

To say it clearly, my goal would be to make it the default layer everyone
uses.

Kind regards,
Marta

The YP TSC did receive another maintainership proposal from Scott
Murray and whilst we haven't had a full discussion about meta-security,
I think the TSC is minded to accept Scott's proposal. That said, the
TSC believes there is plenty to be done in this space so there is
probably an opportunity for co-maintainership in some way as your
skillsets probably complement each other anyway.

My only concern from your perspective (Marta) is that you've been
extremely busy at times and I'm not sure if you have the time/
availability the maintainership could need.

I'd also add publicly, in the Tuesday call and in the TSC discussion,
it was felt that some kind of rationalisation of the layer could be
needed, particularly trying to work out how it sits relative to some of
the other layers out there. I think Scott has some ideas and would talk
about those with the layer users, as well as being open to other ideas
so I won't take that further, other than to say this is in line with
the TSC's thinking based on the information we have.

I think I (and the TSC) step back at this point and let Scott and Marta
talk, as well as any other interested parties but Scott's proposal is
attractive.

Cheers,

Richard
