I hereby nominate Sendao Yan (syan [1]) to JDK 8 Updates Project[2]
committer. Sendao has so far authored 21 PRs [3] that were integrated
into the JDK 8 Updates Project. Sendao intends to contribute more. Most
of these PRs fix test bugs or make the test more robust. Some of those
fixes were non-trivial.


Making him committer would help speed up getting those fixes into the
JDK 8 update trees faster without the help of a sponsor.


Sendao worked as compiler test engineer for several years and works at
Hygon now. They will continue to sustains JDK 8 for the next few years.


Votes are due by 23:59 CEST on Monday, September 22nd, 2025.


Only current JDK 8 Updates Project Committers [4] are eligible to vote
on this nomination. Votes must be cast in the open by replying to this
mailing list. For Lazy Consensus voting instructions see [5].


Thanks,
Severin
