[Qgis-psc] Nomination of Vincent Cloarec (vcloarec) for commit rights

Thu May 14 03:22:48 PDT 2020

Hi Marco,

I totally agree. There should be some sort of consensus and this not
something happening every week/month (hopefully we get to that point soon
:))

Last time David  (
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Nomination-of-David-Signer-for-core-committer-td5413615.html)
was
nominated, it was a general consensus and not only approved by OpenGIS :)

Kind regards
Saber
