The one problem with this is it doesn't take into account those who
contribute to PHP in other ways, such as administering tests, contributing
RFCs, etc.  I'm not necessarily against this, but if you want to garner
wide enough support, you might want to make the language a little more
inclusive.

Just my two cents.
