[TIP] new leadership needed for nose/2

[jason pellerin]

Thanks, Leah! If you happen to know anyone... ;)

Here is one update: the awesome John Szakmeister has volunteered to take
over as the primary maintainer of nose, and nose will be going into pure
maintenance mode. This means that half of the problem is solved (yay!), but
also that the need for nose2 leadership and contributions is that much
greater, as we're going to try to more actively cajole nose users into
moving to nose2, and nose2 is from the next release of nose forward, the
only place where new features will come about.

Many thanks are due to John for the work he's put into nose over the past
year, and for volunteering for yet more work. :)
