In may 2015 Mistral was accepted into Big Tent so does that mean I’m not longer responsible for doing that? Or I can still do it on my own? Even with final Mistral client for Liberty I’ve done it just myself (didn’t create a stable branch though yet), maybe I shouldn’t have. Clarifications would be helpful.

That makes a lot of sense.
