Topic: Some news, and a slightly slower pace

Hi everyone,

I've been maintaining QElectroTech since 2017. I care about it deeply, and that hasn't changed. But I have to be honest: I'm also very tired.

For many years Isince 36 yearks worked as a maintenance/emergency technician on rotating shifts — two mornings, two afternoons, two nights, weekends and public holidays included, and often alone. But even after the hardest shift, it ended and someone took over. Being the QET lead maintainer feels like a shift that never ends — PR reviews, CI, packages for every platform, the forum, decisions to make… and often with no one to hand over to.

So I'm going to slow down for a while:

- PR reviews may take longer;
- I won't always answer on the forum right away;
- if a nightly build breaks, it may stay broken for a few days.

I'm not leaving the project. I'm catching my breath so I can keep going for a long time.

If you'd like to help, every bit counts: answering questions on the forum, testing development builds, reviewing PRs, or looking into CI and packaging. Even a small, regular task takes a lot off my shoulders.

Thank you to everyone who has kept QET alive all these years.

Laurent
