Ok, here's more info about Jeremy: Jeremy has been contributing patches since March '06, and won (#1) the original CDBaby Hackfest. He's still the #6 contributor for 2007. He worked on the Rails Documentation Project, rewrote all of the documentation for ActiveResource and ActionView (see patches above) He wrote two books about Ruby (including Ruby in Practice by Manning) and is working on one about Rails. He wrote DCOV (a RubyCentral SoC project), which allows you to search your code for documentation coverage He spoke at Goruco, Ruby East, and RubyConf, and organized the Ruby Hoedown (a regional Ruby conference).
Bottom line is that he's been extremely active in both the Ruby and Rails community, and specialized in documentation (see Ruby Doc project, documentation patches, dcov, and bookwriting), which would be extremely helpful to have on the group of Rails committers.
