Nominate pavelkalinnikov as reviewer

[tbg]

I'd like to nominate @pavelkalinnikov as a reviewer (in the sense of the etcd community guidelines¹) for etcd-io/raft starting in mid-July 2023²

As of mid-April, Pavel is recognized as an etcd/etcd-io member owing to his contributions to etcd-io/raft. As you can see from the references within and his activity since, Pavel has been very active on the raft codebase, fixing bugs, adding new functionality and documentation, and is starting to reflect on the future direction of the library as well (e.g. ³). As Pavel's co-worker on the Replication team at Cockroach Labs, I can attest to his intimacy with both consensus algorithms and their real-world deployment at scale and further foster his involvement with our community.

I am definitely supportive on this. Pavel has already demonstrated great expertise on raft, and Tobias’s endorsement is definitely a big big plus. Thanks @pavelkalinnikov for your great contribution, and also thanks @tbg for your leadership in raft.
