[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] New committer Denis Gervalle

Hi committers, I would like to propose Denis as a XWiki core committer. Denis is an experimented developer (20 years) and has started developing and selling application (through his companies Softec and eGuilde) using XWiki since version 0.9. He had used fully the XWiki model, in the context of multilingual wikis and farms, and he have therefore a very good knowledge of the oddities of the core in many aspects. Denis is one of the few that knows very well deepest parts of XWiki (even some of the new components). Since he have build large applications over XWiki and works for customers, he also provide good feedback and have strong ideas and proposals to improve our current implementation. However he has been very busy these years and he had initially postpone my wishes to vote him as a commiter in September last year. Now he is more available and we decide to go on. Bugs reports by Denis are verified and usually well documented, often with patches when possible or at least some analysis of the issue. The largest one that I have just applied is XWIKI-4627 "Reduce heap exhaustion during export (and partly import)" (see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4627). Some stats: - Issues reported by Denis(62): http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&report… - JIRA comments by Denis (174) and Mails sent by Denis (43): http://xwiki.markmail.org/search/?q=from%3ADenis+Gervalle - Total patches from Denis (19), 10 have been applied: http://xwiki.markmail.org/search/?q=Denis+Gervalle+keywords+patch - Mails mentioning Denis on devs and users mailing lists (192): http://xwiki.markmail.org/search/?q=Denis So, I propose Denis to applies his own patches from now on. Here is my +1. Thanks -- Thomas Mortagne
