If you can't do that (because you aren't lead for that package) the best bet would be asking Pierre, usually he handles the account request, package related stuff. If Pierre is busy with other things, you can also ping me with pecl related stuff, albeit I'm not that familiar with the codebase/history/usual process flow than he is. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
