Election for Gavin King as Project Lead on Jakarta Persistence

I propose Gavin King as project lead for the Jakarta Persistence project to co-lead it with Lukas Jungman. Gavin has a long history of contributing to Jakarta Persistence, and historically to JPA under the JCP.

Gavin's leadership in the Hibernate project, the leading ORM in the Java world, underscores his expertise in relational databases. This experience uniquely qualifies him to contribute valuable insights to the Jakarta Persistence project, ensuring alignment with industry best practices.

Notably, Gavin goes beyond commentary, actively contributing fixes and improvements to the specification. His dedication is evident in his hands-on approach to enhancing the project.

In summary, Gavin King's multifaceted contributions, spanning insightful feedback, ORM leadership, and direct involvement in spec improvements, make him an excellent candidate as co-project lead. I urge the community to support Gavin's nomination for the benefit of the Jakarta Persistence project.
