[ecd-pmc] Committer Election for Colin Grant on Eclipse Theia has starte

[emo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

A committer election for Colin Grant on project Eclipse Theia (ecd.theia) was
started by Marc Dumais with this criteria:

I hereby nominate Colin Grant for committership in the Eclipse Theia project.

Colin, working with a couple of his colleagues, is behind the much-improved
Preferences UI Widget, that was merged this spring. Since then he continued
to provide support this component, contributing several follow-up PRs (some
pending review). During these activities, Colin has demonstrated he is
willing l to work with the community, take review comments constructively and
is willing to make suggested changes and improvements after discussion. I
believe he will be a good asset to the project.
