I'm a bit surprised to receive this mail now, since Crispin's
application seems to have already been approved last month [see
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-foundation/applications/approved/crispin_flowerday?rev=1.1&sortby=date&view=markup
 ], but of course I'm happy to give you more input:

- he's written, for both Epiphany and Galeon, the SSL security component
(NSS dialogues)
- he contributes bug fixes for Epiphany and Epiphany Extensions
- he has written extensions both in Epiphany Extensions (sidebar,
autoscroll) and outside of E-E
- he (together with Jean-FranÃois Rameau and Adam Hooper) wrote the
original python bindings for Epiphany (then in the external Pyphany
component; they've now been integrated into Epiphany since version
1.7.x)
- he's working on the Mono/C# bindings for Epiphany

In short, Crispin is a valuable contributor to Epiphany and GNOME in
general, and completely deserving of foundation membership.
