+ Maintenance of rdb-rs, the Redis database format utility, is moving to @bimtauer.
+ Tim recently worked on improvements and updates and approached me to take over the crate.
+ I merged his patches, released 0.3.0 and will now hand over crate ownership.
+---
+
+Back in 2015 when I was learning Rust I started [rdb-rs][rdb-rs-announce], a library and tool to parse the Redis database file format (known as RDB).
+I only ever published 4 versions of it, the last one in August 2016.
+I eventually marked [the repository][repository] as read-only and forgot about it.
+
+Up until recently when [Tim Bauer][bimtauer] sent me an email in February of this year.
+Over the past months he took up rdb-rs, fixed up some things, added new functionality and support for newer versions of the RDB file format.
+He asked me to take over ownership of the crate.
+
+Over the past weeks I did a cursory review of [his changes][pr19] and decided to merge them.
+Today I released that as [rdb v0.3.0](https://crates.io/crates/rdb).
+
+I will now add Tim as an owner of the crate.
+Development will proceed in his repository at <https://github.com/bimtauer/rdb-rs/>.
+
+Thank you, Tim!
