I see. I wouldn't call it a secret hand-over. I think it's fair for the
former admin to ping interested parties offline to avoid to be publicly
humiliated by people saying no when being asked. It may be a bit
premature by Aik-Siong Koh to assume that this all the legitimation
needed but I don't think there's any reason to assume a conspiracy here ;-)

Indeed. But we have to help the board. Let's compile a list of
contenders: So far we have Aik-Siong Koh and Stefane Ducasse. Any others?
If not, I think it'd be worthwhile to have them run the project as a
team. And unless Stef is dying for being the front man I'd vote for
giving Aik-Siong Koh a chance since we'd spread the load and have a
backup plan if something goes wrong.

I have not heard anything about it.
