It sounds like exec is pretty much ready to start thinking about a release? If thats the case then we should be promoting it (if not then theres not much point in moving out of the Sandbox IMO). We have other components with only one active person so IMO its not a blocker. For me I would hope there is an intention on your part to stick around and support it - I'm not looking for any kind of promise, since none of us know what the future holds and were all volunteers that can disappear at any time - but I would be happier (voting to promote) if I knew the intention was there.
