We call him... The Closer. JJ made 324 commits in May on top of the 195 in April to https://github.com/perl6/doc, and is now as the top closer of issues in the repo. He also sketched out most of the missing pages in the the Perl6 Docs Roadmap. That enabled that albatross to be tossed overboard as well. JJ has also written a couple of metadocuments, describing patterns he has observed
