Red Hat Engineer Nikita Popov Now The Lead Maintainer For LLVM

Following a proposal that began last month, Red Hat engineer Nikita Popov was nominated to become the new lead maintainer for LLVM. Following unaminous approval, as of last week in LLVM Git he's been appointed the official lead maintainer for this critical open-source compiler stack. Nikita has been a long-time, active contributor to LLVM 42, has deep technical knowledge across many of the components, performs quality reviews, knows many of the other maintainers within the project, runs key community services like https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/ 26, and has largely already been doing the work we expect of a lead maintainer.
