I'm strongly against this. The lead developers of a package are responsible for their code and its release cycle. Having some other people that may roll new releases as well, will result in a big mess. Remember: PEAR does only provide the infrastructure, but every package is some sort of independent sub-project. -- - Martin Martin Jansen http://martinjansen.com/
