Two new committers with core access:
Christian Aistleitner (qchris) is a new Wikimedia Foundation contractor working on the XML dump infrastructure, database access and testing thereof, and Labs.
Elizabeth Smith (emsmith) works for OmniTI as a developer and is joining the AFTv5 project. (She doesn't yet have a mediawiki.org account - I've asked for one and will link when she does.)
Welcome, Elizabeth and Christian!
