[webkit-dev] Chris Lord is now a WebKit reviewer!

[Alejandro G. Castro via webkit-dev]

Hello!

I'm delighted to announce that Chris Lord is now a WebKit reviewer. He
added OffscreenCanvas support, helped with the scrolling architecture
and has contributed a lot of code to WPE and GTK ports in the graphics
area, if you need a review in those areas now you can add him to the
bugs.

Please join me in congratulating Chris on his reviewer status!
