I'm part of a dev team and I've been charged with writing a PHP
module, there was one being developed but it had too many issues and
the original developer gave up because he couldn't make it work with
different versions bof the software or different versions of PHP
I've completed the module and now that I've extensively tested the
module in (too) many versions of PHP and several OS's to ensure
compatibility and functionality, I've been asked to submit it for
inclusion in the PHP source distribution.
This is all very new to me and I've tried looking at php.net but
wasn't able to locate any instructions for submission so I'm writing
to the dev list for further assistance.
So, where do I go from here?
How long is the usual submission process??

It would probably help if you mentioned what the module is.

Send a post to pecl-dev@lists.php.net containing a description of your
extenion, the library(s) it links against, the license you plan to release
it under and (since you've already got it written) a link to a tarball
containing the source code for initial review.
Once it's been approved, you can apply for a CVS and PECL account, and
create a package entry at pecl.php.net (optionally storing the package in
CVS).
