I hereby nominate Archie Cobbs (acobbs) [1] to JDK Committer.

Usually would-be committers tackle simpler tasks at the beginning and 
get to do more complex ones later on. Archie is a disruptor, he is the 
owner and co-author of JEP 447: Statements before super(...) (Preview) 
[2] which was successfully delivered in JDK 22 and of its continuation 
JEP 482: Flexible Constructor Bodies (Second Preview) [3], delivered in 
JDK 23.

Apart from this Archie has worked on many other projects like: "'this' 
escape analysis", and on a multitude of bugs on javac, core-libs, xml, 
etc. Archie's activity in the openjdk/jdk repo can be gauged, for 
example, using [4].

Votes are due by 2024-07-10 20:00 UTC.

Only current JDK Reviewers [5] are eligible to vote on this nomination. 
Votes must be cast in the open by replying to this mailing list.

For Three-Vote Consensus voting instructions, see [6].
