<jdk-dev-retn@openjdk.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Shipilev, Aleksey<br>
<b>Sent:</b> Donnerstag, 19. Februar 2026 15:05<br>
<b>To:</b> jdk-dev@openjdk.org<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hereby nominate Kelvin Nilsen (kdnilsen) [1] to JDK Reviewer.<br>
<br>
Kelvin is a member of the JDK team at AWS and a Committer in the JDK project.<br>
<br>
Kelvin is a GC expert and the de-facto Shenandoah Project lead. He has contributed substantial code to the Shenandoah project downstream over many years. This work culminated in the large Generational Shenandoah integration, a substantial contribution in itself.
Additionally, Kelvin has contributed 38 changes to JDK mainline [2]. He actively reviews Shenandoah changes, and his review is effectively required for many of them. Granting Kelvin JDK Reviewer status would formalize this existing role.<br>
<br>
Votes are due by 00:00 UTC <span lang="EN-US">Saturday</span>, Mar <span lang="EN-US">
7</span>, 2026.<br>
<br>
Only current JDK Reviewers [3] are eligible to vote on this nomination. Votes must be cast in the open by replying to this mailing list.<br>
<br>
For Lazy Consensus voting instructions, see [4].<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
-Aleksey<br>
