Announcing Wim Haeck as Leader of NJOY Project

[jlconlin]

I have had the pleasure of leading NJOY for the last several years. I am quite proud of the accomplishments that have occurred during that time—particularly with regards to the creation of NJOY21.

• NJOY21 was first conceived in October 2012.
• First beginning-to-end run of NJOY21 on October 14, 2015.
• Open Source distribution of NJOY
• Development of many different components that make up NJOY21 and are useful independent from the others.
• NOY21 declared ready for production and NJOY2016 formally deprecated in August 2018.
• NJOY21 v1.3.0 with first modern components released (2021).

It is time to pass the leadership of NJOY to Wim Haeck (@whaeck). Wim has a great knowledge of NJOY and nuclear data and is skilled at scientific software development. I will still be around, but my participation will be more passive than it has been in the past.

Please give Wim all the support that he needs.

Thanks for your leadership and efforts @jlconlin! Open sourcing NJOY was no small feat and I (and many others I'm sure) are very grateful to you for enabling a wider community interaction as a result of that. Look forward to seeing the direction that @whaeck steers the project!
