  I support that.  When someone has patches to commit, I don't think the =
attitude should be "...if we could (either) resurrect the =
development...".  Someone is trying to do that!  PHP development needs =
to get better about on-boarding new developers.  I've submitted a patch =
to the docs before, and it took months to be applied.  This type of =
experience actively discourages new developers.  And the PHP dev mailing =
list is filled with "if only someone would submit patches" comments from =
the current developers.

  One of the current PHP developers should spend some time spotting =
valuable patches, and helpful new contributors, because if all they do =
is bring onboard 5 new developers per year, that will accomplish more =
for PHP than any code they themselves could write.

  I think the PDO_DBLIB is important.  I use it, and I've just switched =
jobs, and found that they use it all over the place too.  I was =
surprised to learn that it is broken or nearly broken in 5.4.  And we =
use it for Sybase too.
