That's exactly what I was doing, I was just trying to help, and
I actually asked other people's advice on whether I should help or
not. And I didn't hijack the project.

I didn't say that since Rick is offline, everyone should send keyrings
to me, nor I even had that idea. I just assembled a keyring for
convinience of others, never said that I am simply taking over.

I am sorry if my intents were misinterpreted.
