CFV: New JDK8 Committer: Vadim Pakhnushev (vadim)

[Phil Race]

I hereby nominate Vadim Pakhnushev to JDK8 committer.

Vadim has been working for the Java client team for over a year
with a substantial amount of that time working on bugs in Java 2D in JDK 8.
He has substantial background in graphics technologies and is a current
author in the JDK8 project.
He has fixed bugs in the areas of Image I/O, fonts, Direct3D, OpenGL
and test bugs and build issues, upgrading the JDK 8 build
to remove its DXSDK dependency.
