[QGIS-Developer] Nomination for Benoit de Mezzo and Jean Felder as QGIS core committers

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi

I second the nominations for both, Jean and Benoit.
They are active for a long time, provide high quality code and are able to
work in a team. They also didn't just provide code but also participate by
giving feedback.

Best regards
Matthias
