[logback-dev] Thank you! JDK 18 Early Access build 20 is now available

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Ceki,

*Thank you.*

I'm retiring at the end of November 2021, it's time to spend more time 
with the family.

We started the Quality Outreach back in October 2014.  We now have 170+ 
projects participating.
Thank you for taking the time to provide Testing feedback , excellent 
bugs and support throughout
the last seven years.

It's been a pleasure working with you. I am delighted to say that the 
program will continue
with the support of the Java DevRel Team, with David Delabassee as your 
contact. David has
been assisting with on-boarding new projects for the last couple of years.

All the best, Rory
