EC 2026 + Standing EC

[ners]

We would like to propose the following people to be on the Election Committee for the 2026 SC election:

• @ners
• @RossComputerGuy
• @iamanaws

Additionally, two more volunteers have stepped up to support in any way that might be needed:

• @ethancedwards8
• @trespaul

---

Two independent requests:

1. Create the repository NixOS/SC-election-2026 and an ec-2026 team (with the 5 members above) that administer it so that we may begin the process of the 2026 SC election.
2. Create a standing EC team with the above 5 members, which can onboard future members as needed. The purpose of the standing EC is to facilitate a quick formation of an EC in the event of either regular or special elections. From a pool of all its members, a 3-member EC can quickly be formed and announced, kicking off the process.

Each member of the EC and the standing EC will also require Zulip and Freescout access.

I asked ners to create a github issue becasue the SC needs to 5/7 approve the EC. We still need this, but thanks for creating the repo and setting it up :)

Oh, I missed the word "propose".
