Nominating Mikael Gerdin to be an OpenJDK committer and a reviewer

Hi all,

With the new OpenJDK bylaws almost in place we need to follow the 
process that they outline to get OpenJDK user names even for the people 
working at Oracle. Mikael Gerdin does not have an OpenJDK user name yet. 
He helped me a lot with the CMS bug that I have been working on during 
the spring and he also reviewed and had good comments on my quicksort 
implementation. I would very much like to list him as a reviewer when I 
push this change.

To grant Mikael reviewer status in OpenJDK we need to first make him a 
committer (lazy consensus  - no vetoes) and then vote him in as a 
reviewer (at least three votes in favor and no vetoes).

Since this is blocking my push, could I please have some votes for 
making Mikael Gerdin a committer and a reviewer?

Relevant part of the bylaws:

Copying Mark on this thread since this is the first time this is done 
and I would like to know that we are on the right track.

Thanks,
Bengt
