Hi,

Sorry about this, I dropped the ball here.

As a note, I have been approving PEAR account requests, and simply
monitored internals@ for emails.  This worked great until the past
couple of weeks when I had crappy internet while on the road, so I
missed a few (3 to be exact).

This is not the responsibility of people outside PEAR like Rasmus, and
the solution is actually a technical one (being able to filter
unapproved accounts by project at master.php.net, i.e. PEAR requests
only are shown), along with the patch Hannes has already committed.
This way, when I am away, it is also possible for people outside PEAR to
easily filter the requests, and I can also do that when I come back
quite easily.

No worries folks - the average turnaround for account approval has been
under 24 hours for over a year now, down from an average of 1 month, so
this 1 week aberration is a 1-time occurrence.  In addition, when PEAR2
gets rolling (and it already is starting) we use a separate subversion
repo with its own auth system, which will help as the volume of cvs
account requests should decline.

Thanks,
Greg
