Excellent!

I am glad you stepped up to this. John, I hope you have it in you to
delegate. You put together a great community of users and contributors,
everybody has their experience and skills, you don't need to know everything
in order to run a successful project.  I see many tasks that can be done by
more than one person:

1. Development.
2. Table authoring.
3. Maintaining (bug triaging).
4. Releasing.

Cheers,
  Eitan.
