Election for Ed Merks as Committer on Eclipse Packaging Project

Ed has had a long relationship with the Eclipse Packaging Project™ providing commits and much feedback, reviews and other work to make the packages the best possible. Ed also runs the SimRel, Oomph and JustJ releng work. SimRel and JustJ are two of the primary inputs to EPP and Oomph is one of the primary consumers of EPP. Ed also handled the releng tasks for EPP during 2023-03 M1. To streamline further work in this area I think it would be beneficial for Ed to become a committer in the EPP project.

Here is a list of recent commits that Ed has completed:

11f3c86b Change SIMREL_REPO back to staging
f80e25ef Set version qualifiers with setGitDate script
920d920d Remove the common inclusion of org.eclipse.jdt.core.
0f8149f1 Evolve CDO feature from org.eclipse.emf.cdo.epp to org.eclipse.emf.cdo.sdk also in the p2.inf
400211ac Bug 580808 - IDEs that include older JustJ fail to update to latest
41dfc3d7 Set all products to require Java 17.
67a031d9 [releng] Update to Tycho 2.7.1 for products with pgp-signed content

There are dozens of EPP bugs that Ed has been involved in, see this bugzilla query for all of them: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?email1=Ed.Merks%40gmail.com&e…

It is my pleasure to nominate Ed as a committer on Eclipse Packaging Project™.
