I second the nomination of Troy. He's been a pleasure to work with and
has done fantastic work to bring KDE Plasma to RHEL/CentOS users after
Red Hat ripped it out of RHEL for RHEL 8.

The fact that he's a member of modularity team means that he can
easily take our feedback and have it incorporated into improving the
system, which is a huge boon for us as RHEL 8 leverages that
everywhere.
