Hello Salman,

I agree with your concern, I failed to follow up with merge requests as
I should have. I should also reverse my priorities, and use the brief
windows I have to work in the project to focus in freeing the
bottlenecks and helping volunteers, instead of (as I've done recently)
focus on the next release and other low hanging fruit.

As a result of this, I've take a vacation day today and worked on the
merge request list, which is now considerably shorter. I plan to
continue doing this through the next weeks, focusing on clearing the
queue, going through outstanding bugs and improving the automated build
system (which is not in the best shape right now).

I hope you would reconsider continuing with your help to the project, I
wish you the best in either case, and I'll understand if you won't.

Sincerely,
Ruben.
