CFV: New JDK 8 Reviewer: Seán Coffey

[Chris Hegarty]

I hereby nominate Seán Coffey (coffeys) to JDK 8 Reviewer.

Seán has worked in the core libraries and networking area since before 
the beginning of OpenJDK. Seán is probably best known for his role as 7u 
maintainer, but as the list of changesets below shows he does much more. 
He has authored 67 changesets in several jdk8 repositories [See below]. 
In particular, he has resolved several sensitive issues in the corba area.

Votes are due by the end of Oct 23.

Only current JDK 8 Reviewers [1] 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 [2].
