Okay, a first draft for the call for maintainership:
| The <extname> extension which is bundled with PHP is looking for a new
| maintainer, since the former maintainers are inactive for <year-count>
| years now, and although the PHP core developers keep the extension
| alive, there are unresolved bugs and other issues which should be
| adressed.
|
| Requirements:
|
| * working knowledge of the C programming language
| * working knowledge of the APIs of the underlying libraries
| * working knowledge of PHP extension programming
| * working knowledge of the Linux or Windows build system
| * some time to actually maintain the extension
|
| Benefits:
|
| * working on widely used Open Source software
|
| If you are interested, please let us know! If you already have a
| php.net account, fine! Otherwise please consider to submit one or
| three pull requests regarding bug fixes and/or other improvements of
| the <extname> extension.
|
| If no maintainer successfully applies within the next <week-count>
| weeks, the <extname> extension is likely to be unbundled and moved to
| PECL.
> […] and on which venues it should be announced?
I think this mailing list and <https://twitter.com/official_php> should
be good – the community will likely spread the word.
