I agree that this request should not be granted. I don't see why we should
be in the business of, among other things, deciding whether code should be
indented or otherwise formatted.

I think it is a good thing to push many things to userland. The PHP Core
distribution should be limited to things we want everywhere and/or which
have technical benefit from being implemented in C.

For pushing more stuff to userland some common guidelines make sense.

But looking at that specific group and request doesn't seem good to me.

  * Historically that group decided that they don't like "the
    PHP.net way" but wanted their controlled group, I think they've
    opened up, though.
  * This request is a bit strange. It reads (maybe partly due to my
    non-native language) like "Make us look like an official php
    thing without following other php.net processes etc." The
    initial mail doesn't even say why a php.net address is needed.
    They "need" a page, while saying that github can already provide
    that. Why is php.net involved? Usually I would expect a
    discussion whether php.net should publish standards first.

Sorry if this is overly critical.
