I'm pleased to share that Francesco Placella (plach on Drupal.org) is moving from a "provisional" core committer to a full-fledged framework manager. (Read more about Drupal core's governance structure.)

Francesco has been a member of the Drupal community for over 11 years. He contributed an incredible amount to multilingual efforts, the Field and Entity API, and was a top contributor to the Drupal Association's D8 Accelerate program, so you can also thank him for Drupal 8 getting released. :slightly_smiling_face:

This experience has given Francesco an extremely well-rounded knowledge of Drupal's API underpinnings, making him a perfect candidate for Framework Manager. He is also extremely meticulous in his patch reviews, and always willing to jump in on problems to help others.

The rest of the committer team all were extremely happy to recommend his promotion to full-fledged committer, so please join me in formally welcoming plach to the team!
