I guess I'm going to need a PECL/PEAR account or something to that effect. I already have a CVS account with karma and such, but I guess I need a PEAR account as well, correct? Should I fill out the forms on pecl.php.net for an account request, or do I need to bother since I already have a CVS account? I've been kind of out of the loop for quite a while now, but now that I have a lot of free time (read: former employer disintegrated) I'm ready to make some contributions to the PHP community again...
