I would like to nominate Athul Mallappallil (GitHub: ChansAlive) as a committer for the Eclipse S-CORE project.
As the scope of Eclipse S-CORE expands to include a dedicated Security and Cryptography domain, it is important to onboard the initial contributors who are establishing and driving this new area.
Athul is one of the initiators and key contributors of the S-CORE Crypto workstream. He has played a leading role in creating the initial crypto contribution, shaping the architecture, and building the foundation of the new repository. [Initial Crypto Contribution Proposal (PR #1)](https://github.com/eclipse-score/inc_security_crypto/pull/1)
Athul has demonstrated both technical leadership and a strong commitment to the Eclipse way of working see Security & Crypto FT Meeting Minutes 2026 · eclipse-score · Discussion #2839 (https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-score/discussions/2839#discussion-99568…). As one of the primary contributors responsible for establishing this new project scope, granting him committer rights will enable him to continue driving and maintaining this area effectively.
I strongly support his election as an Eclipse S-CORE Committer.
