Changing (primary) editor of HTML to Simon

[cwilso]

With Domenic's impending departure, we will need a new (singular) Editor for the HTML workstream. For SG approval.

Shall we make this change the day Domenic retires?

We also need a replacement for the Streams Workstream. @ricea seems the most likely candidate there, or possibly @MattiasBuelens.

And this also made me wonder whether we should keep former editors around in "authors". I lean towards removing them, but listing them separately in the Acknowledgments section (as we already do for Ian Hickson in HTML for instance or Ms2ger in DOM).

Thoughts?

I was hoping to stay in authors, because it feeds into bibliographic data in various databases, and I'd like to have my contributions recognized for all time in various references. (And I think it's fair to do so for other former authors.)

My time to work on Streams is extremely limited at the moment. @MattiasBuelens might be a better choice, if he has time available.

[MattiasBuelens]

I can take up the role as main editor for Streams. As I was already a deputy editor before, I understand that this doesn't change much about my responsibilities according to our working mode?

Note that my day job does not directly involve working on web standards, so I'm doing most of my standards work in my free time. If it is expected that more dedicated time is spent on this task, I can look into solutions with my employer, or leave the honor to someone else.

@MattiasBuelens that's great, but note that it means you'd also the final point of escalation for any issues pertaining to the Compression standard as per https://whatwg.org/workstreams#streams. Not that it has had much activity. In terms of time I suppose there is some expectation of issue triage and PR review, but not more than your current level of activity. And we can always revisit if it doesn't work out, but I suspect it will.

[MattiasBuelens]

@annevk All right. I suppose I'll open a PR similar to this one to make it official? 🙂

[annevk]

Yeah that sounds good, thanks!
