When you sign up to maintain a package in a public space, you're also agreeing to a contract with the PEAR development community, and part of that contract involves staying involved with PEAR administrivia. Perhaps such details need to be spelled out verbatim when developers apply for their freely-hosted, freely-administrated PEAR accounts. -- Jon Parise (jon of php.net) :: The PHP Project (http://www.php.net/)
