On the 30th of May, the nominator announced the result: https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-dev/2024-May/009039.html. From what I see, the third step will be eventually completed by updating the census: https://openjdk.org/projects/#project-reviewer.

It does rather beg the question as to why someone who is now considered 
experienced enough to be a Reviewer was never proposed as a Committer?
