Hello,

The PHP Foundation would like to announce that it has decided to directly
support the FrankenPHP project moving forward.  The plan is that FrankenPHP
will move to the PHP GitHub organization, which will make it easier for
core contributors and others to be actively involved in the project.  A
portion of its documentation will also move to php.net (exact details TBD).

For those not familiar with it, FrankenPHP is an alternative Server API
(SAPI) for PHP that is built on the Caddy web server, and includes a number
of high-performance configuration options.  It's already directly supported
by multiple major frameworks in the PHP ecosystem.

This change will put FrankenPHP in essentially the same administrative
"bucket" as PECL extensions.  Its governance will not change; the same
maintainers will still be maintaining it, but it will now be easier for
others to contribute to the project and coordinate larger efforts.

At this time, there are no plans for tighter integration into php-src the
way PHP-FPM or the CLI SAPI are.  Should there be serious discussion of
that in the future, it will involve an RFC, just like any other major
addition to php-src.

Kind Regards,

Jakub
