I'd like to nominate Ron Sigal as committer, so that the whole project can better benefit from his decade of REST experience. Ron has been involved with JAX-RS since the early days of JSR-339, working on the RESTEasy implementation, which he currently leads.
After the spec has been moved to Eclipse, Ron has been initiating / contributing to multiple discussions including the following threads:
* https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jaxrs-dev/msg00813.html
* https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jaxrs-dev/msg00634.html
* https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jaxrs-dev/msg00563.html
* https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jaxrs-dev/msg00564.html
* https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jaxrs-dev/msg00554.html
* https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jaxrs-dev/msg00553.html
In relation to some of the discussions above, Ron has created the following issues:
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/issues/855
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/issues/842
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/issues/765
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/issues/759
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/issues/707
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/issues/706
... and he has provided these pull requests:
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/pull/858
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/pull/857
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/pull/810
* https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/jaxrs-api/pull/809
I'm sure the group can trust Ron; he takes anything he does wrt standardization bodies very seriously; quality of code and spec document as well as vendor interoperability are always among his main concerns.

| Andy McCright | +1 | Agreed - I've worked with Ron in this and other projects, and I think the Jakarta community will definitely benefit from his expertise. |
| Jim Ma | +1 | Definitely +1 for this. Ron's expertise on Resteasy and JAX-RS spec will definitely help evolve the new version spec. |
| Dmitry Kornilov | +1 | |
| Santiago Pericas-Geertsen | +1 | Great to have Ron as a committer. |
| Ed Bratt | +1 | |
| Christian Kaltepoth | +1 | |
| Jan Supol | +1 | |
| Markus Karg | 0 | Actually I wanted to vote -1 because I expect from a committer to invest much more time into this project than just the average frequent contributor, but looking at the recent contributions of Ron I doubt he can invest more time than the average frequent contributor due to his other duties. On the other hand, Ron is an expert on REST and a major contributor to Red Hat's product, so he would be a good addition to the team. |
