I think what you're looking for is this:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/voting


As far as formatting goes, I'd just copy what other RFCs have done.  I've
raised the idea of clarifying the voting process with a new RFC awhile ago
but nobody seemed interested one way or another so nothing ever came of it.

Regarding sorting, IMHO it really doesn't matter.  My preference would be
to put the most recent ones on top, but so long as they're listed under the
right status categories then I really don't think it matters all that much.
