+Hi,
+
+I would like to self-nominate for the role of PTL of Blazar for the Xena
+release cycle. I have been PTL since the Stein cycle and I am willing to
+continue in this role.
+
+I will keep working with existing contributors to maintain the Blazar software
+for their use cases and encourage the addition of new functionalities.
+
+Thank you for your support,
+Pierre Riteau (priteau)
