Just remove the acting, at least from my point you clearly belong (and
belonged for a while) to the maintainers.

It is unlikely that I will return in the role I was simply due to the
time constrains that any job implies. I still hope I can help a bit here
and there with advice on the mailing list and bugzilla and random bug
fixing but I will certainly not develop any bug new features.

No objection, see above. If the group at any points feels that I should
be removed from the list of maintainers than feel free to decide that
way but for now I would appreciate if I could stay there and help out if
anybody is unable to do a release or whatever.

Thanks,
