Thanks a lot for the kind words, appreciated.
Be reassured, the fact that I shall soon step down has nothing to do
with the community: in fact, the community is what kept me motivated
for nearly ten years now!
This decision is a simple combination of me not having enough time
(which can lead to frustrating situations for other contributors) and
the fact that I'm confident about Org's future.

... but I'm very receptive to the real questions: how can we expose
the latest Org to more testers? how can we recruit more contributors?
If at some point developing Org within Emacs seems to be part of a
good solution, I'll be all for it. I definitely prefer this scenario
to the one where Org is kicked out Emacs core and moved to a separate,
not-installed-by-default, GNU ELPA package.
Best,
