+1 on the nomination of Mohammed Zia. I second everything Andy Anderson said. Among other things, Zia was an incredible help as co-editor of the FOSS4G 2017 academic proceedings that we are about to publish and will be put on the OSGeo Journal site. He's a proven asset and collaborator to the OSGeo community.
