Hello,
I have been working with Alex on security related code and have been
impressed
with his abilities as well as
dedication to consistent improvement of the
project and his own code.
Alex has worked on some complex changes to difficult code such as:
XWIKI-5275: Prevent nested script macros.
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5275
As well as a large quantity of cross site script related patches such as:
XWIKI-5161: Using XML symbols (<, >, &, ") inside the document
title/name/space breaks various parts of the UI and causes the PDF export to
throw exceptions
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5161
A full list is here, most are not viewable by the public.

Alex has developed an automated cross site script fuzzing test which can
be seen

It should be noted that I would be +1 for giving
write access to anyone
who demonstrates a need.

Alex and I agree on a lot of issues where we hold
the minority position
so my opinion should be taken with the salt it deserves.
That said, he has the courage to voice
disagreement when he has it,
he takes an interest in decisions regarding the core rather than being
concentrated on the user interface,
and he has the ability to spot problems in design
which will not become
obvious until later.
