I never knew there were so many account requests... I see now why the admins wanted a bit of help :-)

Actually we didnt ask for help with this task. Actually we were very willing to take off this load from pear-dev. The change was made to increase transparency.

I stand corrected. Now, as for increased transparency, we also need to know which accounts are opened ;-)

Frankly, I like this added transparency. It is wonderful to see how things work. There was talk of creating a PEAR-ADVOCACY list; perhaps another new list (PEAR-INTERNALS? PEAR-WEB?) would be good for these kinds of emails.

There is a pear-webmaster@ list for pear.php.net. I can see the pear-advocacy list as something good, but I fear it would just linger .. but then atleast of there is discussion its likely to have meaning instead of just feeding bored people on pear-dev waitinf for a flame war. Adding a mailinglist for the account requests seems like unecessary overhead. But I agree that in the interest of transparency the pear account karma mails should also end up on pear-dev. regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
