Happy holidays (and the new year to come) internals
With the ongoing effort to focus resources into PHP7, we are yet to
elect a release master (or two) for PHP7.
Since this is done traditionally by
'who-have-the-time-to-invest-being-this', I think its about time we
think about who will be able to do this massive task for our first
major release in over a decade.
We currently have 2 idea pages on the wiki available[1][2], listing
some ideas and thoughts that we should consider for the new release.
There is also the old PHP6 TODO list with some items merged into the
PHP5 branch over time, some might still be appealing to consider for
PHP7[3]. The RFC section on the wiki[4] is also booming with ideas and
some that have already made its way into PHP7.
So all in all I think its time that we decide on a set of RMs to keep
this together, I for one would stand up to that role with someone else
as I have the time to dedicate towards this and the experience of how
our process and development work.

Nice call for volunteers :-)
Oh, and you seem to volunteer yourself.
Usually, the "second" RM is the RM of the latest stable branch, so it
should be Ferenc from 5.6 , however we have not statused about 5.7 yet.
Anyway I may help co-RMing if needed as well.
