Election for Heiko Klare as Committer on Eclipse Platform

Heiko recently started working on the improvement and stabilization of the tests in platform.
Such tasks are not very popular for contributors but very valuable for the project as this helps us to to rely on our tests instead of accepting that multiple tests fail from time to time.
The tests Heiko is working on are instable for a long time and stabilizing them is difficult and time-consuming, most likely the reason why others did not yet fix them.

Here is his list of contributions via git shortlog --author:

Improve cleanup after test executions in org.eclipse.core.tests.resources (#371)
Close project when failing to restore metadata in SaveManager (#377)
Remove unused ExampleWorkspaceTest
Fix assertions in IResourceChangeListenerTest (#364)
Improve JobEventTest.testDeadlockRecovery, avoid random failure (#373)
Avoid background refresh while ensuring file is out of sync #96
Improve timing behavior of IJobManagerTest for slow servers #397
Improve tests for calling LockListener in JobManager #399
