I hereby nominate Ralf Schmelter (rschmelter)[0] to OpenJDK Reviewer.
Ralf is currently a JDK Committer and a member of the SAP JVM team.
He has a long history in the SAP JVM team and basically knows
each corner of the OpenJDK. In Hotspot, he has deep knowledge of
the various garbage collections, the basic runtime implementation,
debugging and JVMTI support and many more. At SAP, he developed
a row of profiling and supportability tools. A large part
of his changes in OpenJDK address supportability improvements of
the VM, as, e.g., improving the experience of working with heap
dumps[1]. He always follows a global approach, e.g., also addressing
changes needed in tools.
He has contributed overall 32 changes [4] in the past years.
He also already reviewed a row of complex changes.
He is an expert in Windows, which is nowadays rare in the
OpenJDK community.
Votes are due 12:00 CEST on Wednesday, the 6th of October, 2021
Only current OpenJDK Reviewers (and above) [5] are eligible to
vote on this nomination.
Votes must be cast in the open by replying to this mailing list.
For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [6].
Best regards,
Goetz.
