A fix[1] has been applied in hopes to resolve the mailing list sign-up issue. For those who had issues with signing up for the mailing list would you be willing to please test the signup process[2]? If yes and you still experience a problem, could you please report the issue to php-webmaster@lists.php.net <mailto:php-webmaster@lists.php.net> list, or if you don't want to sign up for that list you could please email me off-list so I could look into the continued problem and communicate about it on the webmaster list for you? Thank you in advance. -Mike [1] https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/426 [2] https://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php
