Approving a VCS account request is a manual thing done by pressing a "approve" button on master. This button used to only generate an email to the requester, and to group@. No public records. That mail furthermore did not used to contain who actually approved the account. Unless someone mailed you directly, you wouldn't know who approved it - again, at that point in time. This is no longer the case with today approvals/rejections. >> > remember being able to edit the PHP.net man pages without the Docbook >> > editor.

Same with editing/reject user notes and community events. I know you have made about dozen or so comments on bug reports using your php.net account. I'm not questioning if you have an account or not. I am telling you you do have an account, but without any VCS karma. I cannot find any traces by you in the form of VCS commits.

I want you to show us a patch, just like anyone else, before we grant you any karma. -Hannes
