Hello Lucene developers,
I'm happy to announce that Stefan Vodita has accepted an invitation to join
the Lucene Project Management Committee (PMC)!
The PMC is the next step after committership in the meritocracy for each
Apache Software Foundation project, and happens when a person shows
continued commitment and energy not only for the project's source code but
also for the overall user and developer community ("community over code").
The PMC governs the community health, interacts with the board (e.g.
submitting quarterly community health reports, published at
https://whimsy.apache.org/board/minutes/Lucene.html), elects new committers
and PMC members, provides binding votes for new Lucene releases, and
addresses security issues and any other private/special escalations.

Congratulations Stefan, thank you for all your hard work improving Lucene's
community and source code, and welcome aboard!
