Hi all,

This is farseerfc (Jiachen YANG).

Seeing that gromit has initiated a removal discussion,
I feel I should formally express my willingness to resign from the Package Maintainer role.
I apologize for not addressing this sooner.

First, I’d like to thank gromit giving me a reminder, and all staffs of the Arch Linux.
It has been a pleasure working with you and contributing to the broader Arch Linux community.
My resignation stems from being unable to dedicate sufficient time to these responsibilities.

I became a TU in 2015 while working as an assistant professor at a university.
Much has changed since then, I now have a daughter, and I’ve changed my job as an IT engineer
at a media company in Tokyo.
In recent years, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to balance my daytime job and family commitments,
leaving my duty as a TU/PM unattended. I initially hoped that as my daughter grew older
or as I adjusted to my job, I would regain time for packaging and AUR tasks.
Unfortunately, this has proven more challenging than anticipated.

I deeply value Arch Linux, and I enjoyed contributing to the community.
The community deserves better, and I hope to be able to contribute again
when my circumstances allow for meaningful involvement.

Thank you all for your understanding.

Best regards,
farseerfc (Jiachen YANG)
