Before a new admin is chosen, I think it would be a good idea to create 
a list of the tasks and responsibilities that the volunteer(s) would be 
taking on.  It doesn't have to be a complete list, but just something 
that covers the major points.  If you want to be an active developer 
(and I hope that you do, as you know the code better than anyone and can 
help others get up to speed), it would be nice to know what the admin(s) 
should be helping you with.
