Hi, Sorry about this, I dropped the ball here. As a note, I have been approving PEAR account requests, and simply monitored internals@ for emails. This worked great until the past couple of weeks when I had crappy internet while on the road, so I missed a few (3 to be exact). This is not the responsibility of people outside PEAR like Rasmus, and the solution is actually a technical one (being able to filter unapproved accounts by project at master.php.net, i.e. PEAR requests only are shown), along with the patch Hannes has already committed. This way, when I am away, it is also possible for people outside PEAR to easily filter the requests, and I can also do that when I come back quite easily. No worries folks - the average turnaround for account approval has been under 24 hours for over a year now, down from an average of 1 month, so this 1 week aberration is a 1-time occurrence. In addition, when PEAR2 gets rolling (and it already is starting) we use a separate subversion repo with its own auth system, which will help as the volume of cvs account requests should decline. Thanks, Greg
