I would like to nominate Patrick Ziegler as a Platform Committer.
Patrick has been an in-house RCP developer for several years. He serves as the project lead for WindowBuilder, where he has been instrumental in keeping the project active, both organizationally and in maintaining the codebase. In addition, Patrick is the most active contributor to GEF Classic, with 149 commits in the past 12 months. See the contributor graph: https://github.com/eclipse-gef/gef-classic/graphs/contributors?from=1%2…
Patrick has also contributed to M2E, PDE, p2, and Equinox. He is a friendly and approachable individual who actively engages with the Eclipse community.
Here are Patrick's contributions to the Eclipse Platform:
~/git/eclipse.platform$ git shortlog --author "Patrick Ziegler"
Move org.eclipse.ui.examples.filesystem to eclipse.platform.resources
Update copyright to EPL-v2 and resolve compiler warnings.
Contribute the UI elements via org.eclipse.ui.menus.

Fix: Activity-based View filtering only works for core expressions
Wizard pages should be able to specify their minimum size.
Only persist the view part name when a custom name has been set

~/git/eclipse.platform.swt$ git shortlog --author "Patrick Ziegler"
[GTK4] Migrate DirectoryDialog from GtkFileChooser to GtkFileDialog
[GTK4] Migrate FileDialog to new GTK FileDialog API
[GTK4] SIGSEGV in OS.gdk_display_get_default() during splash screen
[GTK4] Cleanup execution of non-blocking dialog calls
Patrick is currently working on a filter-based TableViewer implementation, which will benefit PDE (see https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/pull/2567), and contributing to the JXPath re-implementation (see https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/pull/2691).
Please note that contributions to Eclipse standard projects are also considered when evaluating nominations for Eclipse Platform committers.
Join me in welcoming Patrick.
