This is more showing that a situation where we only have one person working on (and knowing) a module is not sustainable.

The changes you did were clearly going into the right direction, and will need to be picked up in one way or another.

I’m currently trying to find someone else who can step up and get to know the module. It would be great if you could help that person get up to speed (once I found him/her).
