    Hi all,
    
    
    This is to let you know that as of November 8th, 2021, I am stepping down
    as libsecp256k1 maintainer. My reason is simply that other projects (primarily
    rust-bitcoin, Miniscript and Simplicity) are taking too much of my attention
    and as a result I have basically been an absentee maintainer for all of 2020
    and 2021. It would be prudent that I no longer have merge access to the
    repository.
    
    I will, of course, continue to participate in the project as a contributor,
    and I have no intention of reducing my role in the wider Bitcoin community
    or stepping down as maintainer of any other projects (including libsecp-zkp).
    I am just reflecting the reality that I haven't been active as a maintainer
    and therefore ought not to call myself one.
    
    
    Cheers
    Andrew
