Election for Laurent CARON as Project Lead on Eclipse WindowBuilder

I would like to nominate Laurent as new project lead for WindowBuilder.

Currently, I'm one of the leads as I helped building this project outside the Google infrastructure after Google stopped working on the tool. In the last years, I was unfortunately not very active.

Currently Laurent is the most active developer of WB and made WB work also with Java 17. He answers lots of the Github issues and implemented support for the Nebula widgets in WB. He is also very community orientated and help new people contributing to WB.

Here is the list of Laurents contributions from the Git log.
