I'd like to support Vadim as candidate for a new developer. He does a lot of great work, including many Lua packages, some Nginx stuff and he also maintains telegram-desktop source builds in his own overlay.

If fact, Vadim was one of the people who helped myself become a developer back in a day, sharing a great deal of his experience and advice.
