Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] who can vote
From: nikita.ppv@googlemail.com (Nikita Popov)

I just want to comment on one of the points:
> Maybe we could define different type of votes (language syntax change, ad=
ding new feature/extensions, etc.) and define the who can vote for each of =
those.
> * This could be a good middle-ground between allowing qa/documentation/we=
b people to vote on language level RFCs or not.
I think that this isn't a good idea. The main reason for a [php-src]
vs. [php-doc et al.] distinction is that the php-src guys will be the
ones maintaining the code. (At least from what I heard this is the
main point.) I think this isn't a good argument. I would actually
argue that most, even minor, code changes cause much more work for
documentation than for core developers. Especially if you consider
that every change needs to be translated into quite a number of
different languages (and translation queues are looooong).

So: I would opt for keeping this point as is: Everyone with some sort
of svn access should be able to vote.
