Hi Ed, great to hear. I started the nomination. https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse.equinox/elections/election-ed-merks-committer-eclipse-equinox
Trivial changes are typically committed directly by the committer without review. I also hope that you will be able to help improving p2, AFAIK you are a heavy user of it. If you need feedback on complex changes in Equinox and p2, I recommend adding proactively experts to the reviews and to ask for reviews.
