ok I just ping him on private channels. may take a while since he may
be traveling but will come sooner than later.

I don't think I understand exactly which server is, but honestly I
think I also have no access. but have the signing keys anyway.

I believe we should follow up with a migration on Devuan's
infrastructure, which now counts up to 3 big servers running ganeti
and perhaps the CI is one of the last bits to move on it.

for a reboot if needed, however everything seems to run very nicely

I will create a caretakers@??? email account with all 5 CTs

parts of the infrastructure this is very good news. we all go through
periods of more or less activity, the important is that the love never
extinguishes ;^)
