I was having troubles finding the corresponding discussion thread for 
some RFCs myself before (and regretfully did not always add the links to 
the list archives myself to my own RFCs). I think this makes sense and 
I'm happy to include this requirement as part of my current “Clarify 
discussion and voting period rules” RFC. Would you mind sending another 
email to the discussion thread of that one to have it all in a single 
location: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/128594?
