Found his github.  Total of three commits with extremely incorrect style 11 
months ago.

I think we need better examples before a vote is triggered. Most current 
commiters followed the make bugs in trac, patch bugs in trac process.

The haiku code style guidelines are extremely tight, I'd rather see some basic 
understanding of them before starting a vote. (Any new commiter making a large 
number of errors will cause trigger a lot of frustration for the development 
community and the commiter)
