Dave Clements has moved on to Anaconda to find a new challenge.
Thanks so much for the countless things you've done @tnabtaf, you know
the Galaxy community wouldn't be what it is without you!
Oleg has done so much awesome stuff for us, but he's moved on to
Industry. Thanks for all your brilliant work @OlegZharkov, and hope to
see you around.
David has taken on the migration to fastAPI as his first big project
within the Galaxy codebase and has gained a very good understanding of
Galaxy's backend and the new server stack. His PRs are well-crafted and
contain rigorous tests.
David is also the maintainer of the [Galaxy language
server](https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy-language-server), has
presented his work at this years' GCC and is a member of the backend
working group. So I'm proposing to add David to the committers group.
Oleg has contributed many large pieces of new and modernized frontend
components as well as complementary backend changes. He has included
many tests for new and old components, is an important member of the
UI-UX and testing working groups and has presented his work at multiple
GCC conferences. So let's make Oleg an official member of the committers
group.
Sergey Golitsynskiy has been a very active contributor to the Galaxy
code base and ecosystem (ansible-galaxy, sequence-utils, iuc) during the
last year. His contributions are of high quality and contain appropriate
tests and documentation and it is a pleasure to review Sergey's
contributions.
I propose that we add Sergey to the Galaxy committers group so that we
can benefit from his experience and skills.
Marius has been an indispensable member of the Galaxy community for a while - his contributions to tools, planemo, and ansible roles have been signficant and invaluable.
However over the last several months he has taken a very active role on the Galaxy central code base itself. He has worked through a number of very intricate bugs to tool shed, tooling, and workflow code - consistently providing high quality and important bug fixes. Beyond that he has made signficant enhancements to the testing of Galaxy and workflow available to tool developers leveraging local tool sheds. He also is very active in the review of issues and pull requests, perhaps the most important role of Galaxy committer group members.
Ross Lazarus has done a lot for Galaxy for a long time and has been a fantastic presence in the community. He is now retired and has no intention of touching the code or reviewing pull requests so I think it is best to remove him from the committers list. I have contacted him to confirm this and he has no problem with his removal from this group.
Just to reiterate, this isn't a condemnation of any kind, from the organization policies - "Periodically, active members may review this group and request inactive members are removed - this should not be interpreted as a condemnation of these inactive members but merely as a reflection of a desire to keep this group focused enough to remain effective."
on how reversions are to be handled. This is in response to the events
transpiring in #433 and #449.
Additionally this PR corrects the misspelling of the pluralization of
the word veto.
This is a direct follow up, per procedures with a single squashed commit, of #450.
