<br>
I'd like to nominate Mathieu Pellerin ("@nirvn") for commit rights to<br>
the QGIS repository.<br>
<br>
As <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/graphs/contributors" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/<wbr>graphs/contributors</a> shows, Mathieu is<br>
currently our 25th most active committer, and he has a longstanding<br>
history with the project. He's a great asset to the project, with<br>
skills in UX and visual design, he has a great comprehension of the<br>
needs of power QGIS users, and he's shown a thorough understanding of<br>
the "bigger picture" when it comes to designing features and fixes for<br>
QGIS.<br>
<br>
I've found Mathieu's work to be of a very high quality, and I am<br>
always confident that any changes he submits have been extensively<br>
tested and well considered. He's always quick to respond to<br>
suggestions and follow up his work with bug fixes.<br>
<br>
I would like to nominate Mathieu for two roles:<br>
1. maintenance of QGIS visual assets. The bulk of Mathieu's work to<br>
date has centered on adding polish to QGIS' user interface and<br>
standardising and improving our icon set. Here's an example of the<br>
kind of very welcome changes Mathieu has made:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2088" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/<wbr>pull/2088</a><br>
<a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2766" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/<wbr>pull/2766</a><br>
<a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/2799" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/<wbr>pull/2799</a><br>
This kind of attention to detail has really helped make recent QGIS<br>
releases look much more like a professional project vs an open-source<br>
hobby project.<br>
2. UI polish and bugfixes.<br>
<br>
(While Mathieu has also submitted valuable, high quality features to<br>
composer, processing, etc I believe these kinds of changes are best<br>
served through the PR process (as is common practice by core<br>
developers for almost all larger changes now!).)<br>
<br>
Lastly, I believe Mathieu is a perfect example of a QGIS community<br>
member. His initial contributions consisted of high quality bug<br>
reports and feature requests, and as his involvement and skills have<br>
improved he's progressed through to confidence in tackling tricky c++<br>
changes. I consider Mathieu to be a great reflection of how well the<br>
QGIS community can handle mentoring new contributors and developing<br>
their skills and how well this initial investment pays off in the long<br>
run.<br>
<br>
In short, I'd love to see Mathieu granted core access so that he can<br>
push his contributions faster and also as recognition of his years of<br>
quality contributions to the project!<br>
<br>
Nyall<br>
