[Fwd: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-DEV] New bug owner for mapscript needed]

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Sean,

Congrats and best of luck to you in your new endeavors. I hope we will 
see you back around here in the future if things change again for you. I 
appreciate all the work you did to stabilize and promote swig mapscript.

I hope we can find a new swig champion. I think it's great that 
individuals are stepping up for the individual languages but Sean did a 
great job insuring that all languages under swig were implemented in a 
consistent way.

Thanks again Sean and I hope the new gig is a lot of fun.
