CFV: New JDK Reviewer: Martin Balao

Tue Apr 8 16:20:19 UTC 2025

I hereby nominate Martin Balao (mbalao) [1] to JDK Reviewer.

Martin joined the Red Hat Java Platform team in 2017 as its security 
expert, leading all Red Hat work related to OpenJDK security. He has 
been a member of the OpenJDK Vulnerability Group since its inception, 
actively involved both in preparing & reviewing reproducers/fixes for 
undisclosed CVEs and in planning & preparing 3-monthly CVE patch bundles 
for mainline/LTS updates releases. He has also been an active 
contributor to mainline security development work and bears prime 
responsibility for Draft JEP 8325511 (Security Providers Filter) [3]. 
As well as reviewing multiple security patches in the VG, Martin has 
contributed 46 changes [4] to mainline JDK over the past 8 years.

Votes are due by 24:00 UTC, April 22, 2025.

Only current JDK Reviewers [1] are eligible to vote on this nomination. 
Votes must be cast in the open by replying
to this mailing list.
