Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 5 Bug Summary Report
From: mls@pooteeweet.org (Lukas Kahwe Smith)

Hello all,

Just some observations. Keep in mind I am just trying to see in what  
area's we should try and find people to help out. So please do not  
interpret this email as me telling people what they should do with  
their time. However I am, just like Jani, a bit worried about the  
large number of assigned bugs.

Arnaud, I saw that you did a fair bit with the Apache handler, as well  
as the array functions. Could you look over those tickets?

Maybe its time we remove this extension from core? It doesnt seem like  
anyone is stepping up to care ..

I presume Derick is on top of the really critical ones here..

How do we deal with extensions that get moved to PECL? I guess we  
close the bug and ask to get it reopened in PECL? (Boy would it be  
good to have one bug tracker to rule them all ..)

Zoe, I remember seeing you mention on IRC, that you are looking into  
Josie's IMAP tests. Maybe you could verify these tickets while you  
have things setup to test IMAP ..?

Seeing that JSON is the new XML and 2 of these bugs are verified.  
Could someone look into this. IIRC in the past Yahoo (aka Rasmus) was  
looking after this extension a lot ..

Dmitry, I guess you could use a helping hand here .. anyone?


> Assigned bugs and feature requests (reminders sent):

this list is insanely long .. please everybody make sure that these  
reminders are actually send to somewhere you read. So that they  
actually serve their purpose and as Jani requested .. unassign  
yourself if you are unable to look into the bug in a reasonable  
timeframe .
