Higgins Committers please respond to this email with either: +1(yes), 
-1(veto), 0(abstain), or a request for more information.  The voting period
is one week. If I don't hear from a given committer within that time, I'll
assume a vote of 0.  If we receive at least three positive votes with no
negative votes, the addition will likely be approved and I'll start the rest
of the process described here http://www.eclipse.org/legal/newcommitter.php.
