Documenting solution for the problem of background scripts that make PHP hang

Hello, Once in a while there is somebody that ask how to run a shell command in background from without making PHP hang under UNIX. The problem is about pclose() that hangs until all processes started from the script release the output handle that was returned to PHP by popen(). While this is the correct behavious and so is not a bug, I thought it would be useful to document it in the official manual. It seems that Adding annotations to the manual from the site is not working yet. So, I wonder what is the way to go to have this problem documented in the appropriate section of the PHP manual. I looked in the news server at news.php.net and there was a php.doc group but it seems to be empty. I thought there was a PHP documentation mailing list somewhere but I can't find it.
