[Development] [QtSerialPort] Leaving from the project

[Saether Jan-Arve]

Hello Denis.
That was sad to hear.
If he is always busy, (I know this might be subjective from your POV) then I'm not sure if it was the right decision for you to leave. If he's always busy, who will drive the project forward now? Did you discuss this with other contributors of the project? If others also have the same issue, won't it be better for the project if you stay and somebody else walk away?
(I'm not saying that other people have the same issue, but if they do - there might be a risk of that they might leave, too).

cheers,
Jan Arve
