I'm really excited to see Gavin taking on this role. No one knows the Firefox front end code better[1]. I've always found him to be deliberate and balanced without shying from having an opinion. He's got the respect of his peers in the module and the community at large.
But while we're thanking people, let's also thank Mike for conning the ship and handing it off in good shape.
Congratulations and thanks,
J
