# PHP 7.2 Release Managers - Thread: https://externals.io/message/98652 - Original archive: https://news-web.php.net/php.internals/98652 - Started by Joe Watkins on 2017-03-28T14:56:30+00:00 - Messages: 22 - Reply by email to internals@lists.php.net - More for agents: search with https://externals.io/search.md?q={query} · JSON API at https://externals.io/api · documentation at https://externals.io/llms.txt --- ## #98652 — Joe Watkins — 2017-03-28T14:56:30+00:00 URL: https://externals.io/message/98652#98652 Evening all, With the first alpha of 7.2 due in early June, we think it's time to start the process of finding and electing release managers for the next minor release of PHP. We are looking for two souls to take on this role. Whomsoever is elected will be guided and helped by Davey and I, until they are comfortable, or correcting Davey and I, whichever comes first. Candidates should have a reasonable knowledge of internals (without necessarily being a C guru), 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. Please put your name forward here if you wish to be considered a candidate.

It's been two weeks today since I asked for volunteers, and since I don't plan on dragging anyone through the isles kicking and screaming, the call to action will close today. What happens next depends on what Patrick meant in his last communication.

We should move forward now with Sara and Remi as the release managers for 7.2. Let me be the first to congratulate them: congrats you two. Shoot Davey and I an email with your contact information, skype, gmail, whatever you like for communications. Thanks everyone for the +1s, and other input.
