Let me be one of the first to thank you *both* for Buildbot!  

Dustin, myself and others have been aware of your contributions to the project 
for some time now, and continue to be grateful.  It's great to know what good 
hands the next release is in.

Brian, I really appreciate your work in creating and growing Buildbot; it is 
really something to be proud of.  IMO Buildbot is one of those rare free 
software projects that quietly has had tremendous, positive effect on the 
world.  If we were to sit and estimate all the quality improvements it's 
caused, across all the different proprietary and open-source projects using 
Buildbot over the years, and how that has touched the millions (more?) of end 
users of those software systems... I think we'd be astounded about the good 
Buildbot has done already.

It's not clear to me whether this handover is just for the next release, or 
for longer term, or undetermined as yet.  Doesn't matter - thanks to you both 
:)
