Re: [pyusb-users] PyUSB backlog

[Vivek <vv...@gm...>]

Hi wander,

I have used pyUsb in past and I am thankful that it existed. I have been
connected to pyusb through this mail-list only.

I'm taking this opportunity to thank you for your volunteering on this
project.
If it was in my capacity to give you the relief by volunteering I would,
alas I don't know much about pyUsb insides.

So thanks again and I hope we do find a good candidate for taking over
(also that you remain connected with pyUsb).
