I would also like to echo my appreciation of Jeremy and his work. In
particular, anitya is one of the tools I literally rely on to keep
track of my packages and keep them fresh. Without anitya, I would be
unable to do so. And we've slowly started to see other distributions
starting to rely on it too (Arch, Alpine, PLD, Mageia, openSUSE).
So, thank you for building such an awesome tool, and thank you Michal
for taking up the reigns after that.
I can hardly take credit for anitya. pingou started it as far as I know
and the project has over 50 contributors to the code, not to mention
all the issues and work to map projects on
release-monitoring.org
itself.
I appreciate all the kind words from folks and I do know that my work
has, on occasion, provided more value than the trouble it caused.
