I don't think that's *quite* the case? As has been noted elsewhere, the =
rules are:

> =E2=80=A2 People with php.net VCS accounts that have contributed code =
to PHP
> =E2=80=A2 Representatives from the PHP community, that will be chosen =
by those with php.net VCS accounts

It's clear that the second point has not really taken hold, but the =
first point adds the caveat "that have contributed code to PHP", and =
that part *does* seem widely accepted.

So unless I am wrong, merely having a php.net account doesn't appear =
sufficient -- code or docs contributions are an additional prerequisite =
to getting a vote.

Ben (and others) -- your thoughts? Is it really as straightforward as =
"having a php.net account alone is enough to be eligible to vote" ?
