[technology-pmc] Committer Election for Babneet Singh on Eclipse OMR has

[emo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

A committer election for Babneet Singh on project Eclipse OMR
(technology.omr) was started by Daryl Maier with this criteria:

Babneet Singh has been an active contributor to many facets of the Eclipse
OMR project since 2016.

He is articulate in the design and operation of the port, signal, and thread
libraries and is currently the primary contributor in those components.
Babneet has contributed over 100 pull requests [1] (and 266 commits) to the
project and has repeatedly demonstrated thoroughness in his implementation
and quality assurance of each of those commits.  His technical contributions
further include:

* Providing technical guidance on the implementation of the omrsock component
[2] in the port library.  This component introduces network socket
communication capabilities in OMR for language runtimes to consume.
* Studied and identified deficiencies in OMR’s synchronization API (thread
library).  He delivered a talk (“Scalable Locking”) summarizing his
findings and proposing solutions to these problems [3].
* Improved and extended the OMR signal API to work on all platforms supported
by OMR [4].

Babneet is currently leading the effort to support control groups (cgroups)
v2 in the port library [5] and the addition of new features to the CI
pipelines for PR testing [6] such as running PR builds in containers.

Babneet has also been involved in the review of 70 pull requests [7]
primarily for port library changes.  His reviews are always detailed and
thorough and his expertise in the port library and its design is valued by
OMR community members.

He also monitors and provides responses to questions asked on the Eclipse OMR
Slack workspace, particularly in areas dealing with the port library.  He is
a regular participant in the OMR Architecture Meetings and has led the
discussion on a number of technical topics [8][9][10][11].  He provides
thoughtful opinions and insights in the group discussions, especially on PR
testing, CI pipeline tools, synchronization, and port library topics.

All of Babneet’s contributions to Eclipse OMR reflect the ideals of the
project, a desire to continually improve it, and achieving its
language-agnostic objectives.  For example, he encourages the development of
test cases and appropriate documentation both through his code contributions
and in his reviews.

I believe Babneet will be an excellent committer on the Eclipse OMR project.
