Hi Athmane,

I'm sorry for this inconvenience. You see, it was not my aim to retire 
mod_security.

I decided to move my ownership to Daniel since I was not an active 
maintainer. I believe Daniel will be more helpful and responsive than 
me. He just needs to improve his mouse control a bit. ;)

Peter.
