Nicholas has been contributing for just over a year, and although he only has a few PRs (https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pulls/mckib2), one of those was very big: gh-12043 (https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/12043) wrapped the HiGHS C++ linear programming library, dramatically improving SciPy's linear programming capabilities. In addition to code reviews and bug fixes, he currently has several major enhancement projects in the works: wrappers for PROPACK, statistical distributions from Boost, and an interface to the HiGHS mixed-integer programming solver.
