Re: Re: VCS Account Request: nicolasgrekas

Hi Peter Isn't it strange that someone like Nicolas doesn't get a vote? Symfony has such a large impact on the PHP community, and Nicolas has such a large impact on its development. Meanwhile people who contribute to the PHP docs, sometimes completely estranged from modern day-to-day PHP development do have a vote. What are the rules here? According to the wiki it's this: > There's no way around this 'small' issue. Changes made to the PHP language will > affect millions of people, and theoretically, each and every one of them should have a say in what > we do. For obvious reasons, though, this isn't a practical approach. > > The proposal here is for two audiences to participate in the voting process: > > • People with php.net VCS accounts that have contributed code to PHP > • Representatives from the PHP community, that will be chosen by those with php.net VCS > accounts > • Lead developers of PHP based projects (frameworks, cms, tools, etc.) > • regular participant of internals discussions I would think Nicolas' application would at least require a vote before being denied?
