+Hi all,
+
+I would like to announce my candidacy to continue as Vitrage PTL for the Stein
+release.
+
+I’ve been the PTL of Vitrage since the day it started. It has been an amazing
+journey, both for Vitrage and for me personally.
+
+During the Rocky cycle, we have significantly enhanced the stability and
+usability of Vitrage and we added support for integrating Vitrage with several
+other projects. We also took an active part in the self-healing SIG
+discussions, as we believe Vitrage should hold an important role in every
+self-healing scenario.
+
+Among the most important tasks we did in Rocky were:
+
+* Fast-failover of vitrage-graph
+* Alarm history
+* Significant performance improvements
+* Kubernetes and Prometheus datasources
+
+In Stein, I would like to continue the effort around Virage usability and
+stability. In addition, we should integrate Vitrage with more projects,
+to give the user maximum visibility of the state of the system.
+On top of all the technical goals, I plan to continue the effort of enlarging
+our community. We are always looking for new contributors!
+
+I look forward to working with you all in the coming cycle.
+
+Thanks,
+Ifat.
