Hi Ondrej,

I believe it is important to remember that voting is just the last step of
the RFC process: While the vote is the final arbiter, the discussion phase
that precedes it is where concerns are heard and the proposal is shaped.

Granting voting rights to persons not contributing to projects under the
php.net umbrella has historically been a bit of a touchy topic. The last
request of this type by Nicolas Grekas was granted specifically because he
was already a long-time active participant of the PHP internals mailing
list, and provided valuable insight, especially regarding the impact of
changes in PHP on Symfony and its ecosystem.

I think that this is an important criterion. Before granting voting
requests, I would really like to see some participation in RFC discussions
on the mailing list. A vote is just a single bit of information, while your
thoughtful insight on how language changes may interact with static
analysis will help shape proposals in a much more significant way.

Regards,
Nikita
