I'll throw my hat into the ring, since I had previously applied for the
PHP 8.2 release manager position.

I have familiarity with internals and a bit of the release process due
to packaging PHP as a downstream (supporting the IBM i platform) and
maintaining PECL extensions (ibm_db2/PDO_IBM). There's a lot of triage
of user issues (understanding them, providing solutions/patches, etc.),
so I feel I could assess PRs on the other side of review. I've also
thrown a lot of fixes back upstream, in particular with the ODBC
extensions. Currently I just worked on some patches to improve error
reporting with sessions/HTTP responses.

As such, I think my background would make me a good candidate.
