Hi! Who is maintaining the list of available extensions in bugs.php.net? It seems to be out of date (e.g. sodium is missing) and needs to be updated. Is there a list of who has access to this somewhere? Thanks,

To my knowledge, the list of (pseudo) packages is stored in the phpbugsdb MySQL database which is hosted on the bugs.php.net server. There is no further information regarding this machine on the Wiki[1], though. Anyhow, since Rasmus fixed some encoding issues in this DB not long ago[2], I assume he still has access to the DB. Besides the missing ext/sodium, there are quite a lot of other issues. Off the top of my head: * PECL/intl should be moved to Languages/Translation or Unicode Issues * there should be a new PECL/APCu entry (currently most of these tickets are filed under PECL/APC) * PECL/Fileinfo should be moved Directory/Filesystem functions * ext/shmop should be added under Extensibility Functions * PECL/filter should be moved (not sure to which section, but currently a lot of ext/filter related tickets are categorized as “Filter related”, but this is likely to mean stream filter related issues) [1] <https://wiki.php.net/systems/bugs.php.net> [2] <https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76650>

I wonder if we should get more people access there or have it be based on git-hosted list instead of a database (e.g. a nice JSON/YAML file?) so that it could be updated easier?

PECL/json should be removed as there is already JSON related in Data exchange function (I already asked about that some time ago but it never got removed). Cheers Jakub
