I think the message has come over badly somehow, for that I'm sorry, put 
the blame on me not being a native english speaker or something.
Anyhow lets move that aside and get on with the real matter here:

I think its time for me to step back as maintainer and let someone else 
with lots more time, resources and motivation get on the arena.
I do not want to be the one that keeps progress back here, and I dont 
see me getting more sparetime in the forseable future to speed up 
things, so I think the project will be better of finding new and fresh 
resources that has the time needed...
