Even though I feel it is quite needless, I 'd like to say few words about 
Stefan.

Not just because he was my first sponsor (and a tough one to be pleased at 
that) but because in the time I have been with this community I have seen him 
always working hard to try to improve things, both fixing problems in the 
archive and for the community itself (not just in his work as a counsellor or 
maximum motu inquisitor).
If it was not for his (and Scott) work in the late motu-sru team we would not 
have had the same amount of successfully processed sru.
Working together with him in the motu-sru team made me appreciate his 
technical sharpness and his commitment to "make things better".
Whenever I have a doubt or a question about shared libraries, I know Stefan is 
there ready to answer or elucidate me.
He will be a great core-dev (everybody is surprised he is not already), one I 
know will be available to help and sponsor lowlier MOTUs or contributors 
whenever they would dare to propose fixes for main packages.

I trust the MC will fully support his proposal,
