If you want to work on something and someone somewhere prevents you from doing it, you are annoyed. There is a reason more and more extension development moves to infrastructure with better self-management capabilities like GitHub. This is actually bad for PECL, as it was (and mostly still is) the number one resource where you go to check if there is an extension for protocol "foobar". All of this discussions boil down to a larger question: what’s the longer-term plan for PECL. Does it want to be merely an extension directory? A fully-fledged infrastructure provider for extensions? The directory function is one it could easily fulfill (with a few improvements to the approval process). Being an infrastructure provider in 2012/2013 is a little harder. What about GIT and <insert more fancy VCS here>, what about CI, extended self-management capabilities and so on. cu, Lars
