Additionally, given that this CoC has far reaching consequences, I would suggest opening up voting on it's implementation to a wider segment of the community eg those currently subscribed to the PHP mailing lists or at least those who have recently participated on one. ~C

wouldn't that allow sock puppeting and vote brigading? -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu

And that won't happen on this rfc regardless?

At least for sockpuppeting, not without obvious abuse of power it can't. Every new VCS account request is posted to the mailing list. New accounts can't just appear out of nowhere without it being obvious, so sockpuppeting (without long-established sockpuppets) isn't possible. Vote brigading *could* be an issue, but you can only do that if you have a large "brigade" of people with PHP VCS accounts. I don't think there is one. However, opening the vote up to a wider audience makes these two possibilites more likely. Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds https://ajf.me/
