[faroit]

@danielskatz Sorry for not replying sooner. I was out for a couple of days. This isn't in my domain so I wouldn't feel comfortable to edit it.

[hugoledoux]

@danielskatz It's not really my area, but I see above that 2 already rejected (because of this I guess) and I don't see whose an expert in this area here...

However, be aware that I am going on holidays next week for 2w, so handling this might be slower than normal.

If you're okay with this, I'm happy to be the editor.

[danielskatz]

@hugoledoux - thanks for offering. I think I'll go ahead and take this one myself, as I guess I'm as close to the domain as anyone...

[danielskatz]

@editorialbot add me as editor

[editorialbot]

Assigned! @danielskatz is now the editor
