Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] release-qa.php and README.RELEASE_PROCESS
From: pierre.php@gmail.com (Pierre Joye)

we have that already as part of the rmtools. The only data missing is
the list of branches as json, which is a simple export of the list
avaible in svn. I will add it and that's it.

The rest of the info, builds errors and co (like last available
revision) are already available as json data.

Maybe it would be nice if you begin to realize that you are not alone
around here to work on that, and certainly since 2 weeks.

Cheers,
