Re: Are feature request bugs ever looked at?

Just a quick reply from my phone: anybody can register a wiki account and anybody can get rfc karma after sending a mail to the php-webmaster mailing list (this is a basic spam protection). about the rfc vs bug tracker: the wiki and the rfc process came later than the bugtracker. I would open a feature request ticket if I don't know how to proceed further or I don't have the time to create and push an RFC. Otherwise I would go with an rfc: albeit it requires more work from the reporter but makes up for it because it provides much bigger visibility and guranteed response from the developers. 2012.05.06. 16:28, "Dmitri Dmitrison" <dmitri200@gmail.com> ezt írta: > Hi all, > > First time poster here...
