Thanks to kal for putting this together.

I also want to mention that Avaflow and @KazWolfe are now helping me out with maintenance on Dalamud, be it PR merges, patch updates or CS bumps. You can reach us on Discord under @dalamud maintainers. They've both been around for ages and I trust them with making the right choices in the right situations. This doesn't mean anything for my involvement as of now. We're still working on setting up workflows that will make work on Dalamud with multiple people better and safer, more on that soon. You can hopefully already expect some of the bottlenecks we've been seeing with me being more busy to disappear.

Thanks and have a good April!
