[technology-pmc] Project Lead election for Håvard Mikkelsen Ottestad on Eclipse RDF4J 
A project lead election for Håvard Mikkelsen Ottestad on project Eclipse
RDF4J (technology.rdf4j) was started by Jeen Broekstra with this criteria:

  Håvard Mikkelsen Ottestad has been a core committer on the RDF4J project
for the past 6 years, and in that time has made a tremendous impression on
the quality and performance of all aspects of RDF4J. Many of you will know
that he has been the main designer and creator of the SHACL module. In
addition to that Håvard has been leading design and implementation of
improvements of all aspects of the platform, in particular in relation to
overall performance. He has also been instrumental in shaping our thinking on
developer ergonomics, introducing more flexible workflows and
release/deployment procedures.

  To put some numbers on his involvement: in the past 3 months, nearly 48% of
all commits done on the RDF4J project were by Håvard, varying from small bug
fixes to major redesigns and refactorings to get us ready for the next major
release. Some recent PRs include:

  - Improved sorting by 2-3x https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j/pull/3619
  - Scalable concurrent reads for the MemoryStore (6x faster with 8-cores)
https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j/pull/3573
  - Reduced locking overhead (2x faster with 8-cores)
https://github.com/eclipse/rdf4j/pull/3564

Apart from his activities as a committer, Håvard has been engaging with both
our user community as well as with the larger Eclipse Foundation organisation
on a regular basis, handling aspects of the project such as support, our IP
logs and legal reviews, etc.
For these reasons, it gives me great pleasure to nominate Håvard as co-lead
on the RDF4J project.
