I am happy to nominate Nico Prediger to be elected as a Committer for the Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) project at Eclipse.
Nico is already doing a great job in the context of the Xtext project w.r.t. release engineering, and he did most of the hard work during the JIRO migration.
I asked Nico if he would be willing to take the same responsibility for the GEF project, and, fortunately, he agreed :-)
Nico and I have a gentlemen's agreement that Nico would take care of release engineering, not the framework source code.
I have full confidence in Nico and I believe that he is perfectly capable of 1) supporting the JIRO migration for GEF, and 2) improving our releng processes.
I ask all of you to vote and hope of course for your support.
