Hi all,
It's time to start the process of finding and electing RMs for the next
minor PHP release.
We are looking for three souls to take on this role. Whomsoever is elected
will be guided and helped by the current, as well as previous RMs and the
excellent documentation in release-process.md [1].
Candidates should have a reasonable knowledge of internals, be confident
about merging pull requests without breaking backward compatibility, doing
triage for bugs, liaising with previous release managers, and generally
getting the branch in good shape, as these are among the activities you
will be undertaking as release manager. Ideally, at least one of candidate
should be a core developer that can assess more technical PR's. Other
candidates do not necessarily need to have deep knowledge of internals but
should understand above mentioned points.
Notably, at least one of the volunteers must be a "veteran" release manager,
meaning they have participated in at least one release of PHP in the past.
The other may be an additional veteran, or more ideally, someone new to the
RM role (in order to increase our supply of veteran RMs).
Please put your name forward here if you wish to be considered a candidate.
An initial TODO page has been added to the wiki and contains provisional
dates for GA and pre-releases [2].

Hi all,
It's time to start the process of finding and electing RMs for the next
minor PHP release.
I'll also note that we plan to start voting on candidates on the 2nd,
so there's plenty of time to get your names in. Good luck!

Hello Internals!
My name is Gunnard Engebreth, Developer for 25+ years mostly in PHP. I
would like to throw my hat in for one of the newbie release manager
roles! I am a PHP apologist, have written several articles for PHP
Architect and have 2 books published on PHP (one of which focuses mainly
on the internals leading up to PHP 8) and speak at the wonderful
conferences when I can. Having said that, I want to be more entrenched
into the community and help out as much as I can in order to learn more.
Every time I feel confident in my knowledge of PHP -- this list shows me
that I know nothing at all. Please reach out to me if you have any
questions!
Thank you!
