The code says that wiki users who are in the “admin,” “phpcvs,” or “voting” groups are able to vote. A wiki account shows up in the “phpcvs” group if they login using their master.php.net account: https://github.com/php/web-wiki/blob/9bc9ba2c3d2d0d26ab510e4959466ab8680b7de7/dokuwiki/lib/plugins/phpcvs/auth.php#L44-L62 In that code, you can see that they automatically have the “phpcvs” group applied. According to this code for master.php.net, a user account is considered approved if they have cvsaccess set to 1: https://github.com/php/web-master/blob/0e511803a5fdc430897d53e76d4eaeea407f1e1e/manage/users.php#L335-L337 So, all approved php.net accounts are eligible to vote, which is currently 1858 accounts. -Ben
