[Qgis-psc] Nomination of commit rights for Mathieu Pellerin

[Nathan Woodrow]

I agree with Nyall - Mathieu has been doing great work to improve the
overall UX of the application.

This stuff can be overlooked when developing a feature so this kind of work
is very important for the life and professionalism
of the application.
