Re: PHP_5_3 Branched

Hi Lukas,

I do not see why we need this delayed hand over. RMs managed to take over during the process in the past and today we even have a check list for this purpose. The main challenge is managing the politics on this list and we all know how this works. Of course there are also technical issues to take care of (like monitoring the commits so that nothing ends up in the release that was not intended).

...etc. I'd argue that we _do_ need a delayed handover. The PHP project has grown massively over the last 5 years - basically, it grew up. So I'm with Ilia over all that. The question is who? Used to be that whoever felt they had the time to do it could, so long as nobody fought the proposal. I don't see anyone fighting against your proposal for Johannes (I wouldn't either) but I also agree with Pierre's diagnosis, that you'd be good at the job. Does there need to be a vote over this, or is there only one volunteer? - Steph
