Well, apparently according to the bylaws, I need to give at least 30 days
notice per clause 4.8

Additionally I never signed my email with GPG so it's probably not even
valid anyway.

In the interim I've been encouraged to reconsider, so accordingly I'm
withdrawing my resignation, such as it is.

Things need to change in Gentoo though.  I've had unsolicited encouragement
from no less than 5 people in this matter and it reflects a serious
cultural problem inside Gentoo.  Apparently I'm not the only person who has
been driven to exile by toxic behavior.  I'm sure everyone remembers zlg's
resignation as a trustee motivated by similiar reasons.

This is not healthy for Gentoo as a community, and ultimately as a distro.
