Dan and Sebastian:
I think the good thing about this change would be that it would allow people to follow PHP development from the bug system. Currently it is an all-or-nothing proposition; either you follow php-dev and php-cvs and are "in touch" with things, or you don't and aren't. The way to implement this would be adding it to the commit script at cvs.php.net; a keyword in the commit message would attach the patch to the bug, similarly to the NEWS and ChangeLog magic that is already happening. Coupled with people filing feature requests for the non-bugs they are working on, this would go a long way into enabling people to follow only the specific areas of PHP development they are interested in. mkit would be rather cool if a bug is fixed in CVS, the patch would be attached to the bug in bugs.php.net. WouldIt would be cool, but it'd also be impractical. Much of the time stuff in CVS HEAD is different than that in a release (witness the streams introduction now).
