Subject: [Development] Nominating David Boddie as approver

Hi everyone,

I would like to nominate David Boddie for approver rights in the Qt project.

David has extensive experience with Qt: From 2004 to 2008, he wrote technical
documentation for Trolltech in Oslo, then tried to do the same for Nokia
until 2011. If he hadn't left Qt before the invention of the approver role, he
would already be one. Since he left, he's been writing software, often using
Qt. He rejoined TQtC November last year, as a Senior Software Engineer with the
Documentation Infrastructure team. Since coming back, his main focus is
improving QDoc. I fully trust David's judgment in reviewing and approving
changes, and see him as a valuable addition to the Qt Project.

Drawing on his extensive experience working with various documentation systems
and processes, he's offered valuable insight and help to our technical
writers. David has a spectacular way of dropping very well thought out one-line
jokes that I find extremely funny in almost any situation, and I thoroughly
enjoy discussing ideas for solving bugs or adding features with him because of
the way he adds perspectives that help me rethink.

His authored changes are here:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/owner:david.boddie%40qt.io
As reviewer/commenter:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/q/commentby:david.boddie%40qt.io

Disclaimer: David and I share the same line manager at The Qt Company, share an
office, and we frequently share lunch at the office.

//! Paul
