[Gluster-devel] gluster tiering maintainer

[Vijay Bellur]

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your contributions to Gluster as a maintainer! Look forward
to your continued participation in the community.

I am working on a plan for tiering going forward and will share details in
the few days.

Good luck for your future endeavors!

Best,
Vijay
