[Swift-devel] [VOTE] Proposal to adjust Committers list

[Michael Wilde]

This vote is closed. The tally is +3, from a total of 3 votes cast:
+1 Ben
+1 Mihael
+1 Mike

Given that there were no comments against, the next step seems to be to 
adjust the committers list in accordance with this proposal.

If anyone is aware of any other formal step we need to take under 
dev.globus rules, please advise.

- Mike
