For anyone looking, he has posted on the tracker as both 'yselivanov' (2 
years) and 'Yury.Selivanov' (3 1/2 years). He has submitted patches on 
about 12 issues, 7 closesd, and commented on another 10. These are 
mostly issue I have not be active on, but the numbers are typical for 
when we think about promoting someone.
