I am interested, as the contributions you made seem to be of high quality.  I'm 
sorry to hear you are leaving.  Perhaps you will be able to "visit" from time 
to time, or come back if and when all the pending bugs are cleared and 
development is back to how it should be.

Oh.  Certainly we have a problem with Grep's maintenance over the last few 
years, but I didn't know you had some ideas on how we could work better.  I 
would like to hear your ideas (in private if you prefer).

Thanks, and good luck with whatever you are doing next.
