Release Managers for PHP 8.3

php.internals

Hi all, It's time to start the process of finding and electing RMs for the next minor PHP release. We are looking for three souls to take on this role. Whomsoever is elected will be guided and helped by the current, as well as previous RMs and the excellent documentation in release-process.md [1]. 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. Notably, at least one of the volunteers must be a "veteran" release manager, meaning they have participated in at least one release of PHP in the past. The other may be an additional veteran, or more ideally, someone new to the RM role (in order to increase our supply of veteran RMs). Please put your name forward here if you wish to be considered a candidate. An initial TODO page has been added to the wiki and contains provisional dates for GA and pre-releases [2].

I had volunteered in a previous cycle but, sadly, lost in the voting round. That said, I'm still eager to be more heavily involved and up for the challenge (both for the immediate process and for any long-term support beyond the dates listed in the existing todo. I've been working with PHP in userland since 2005 and dabbling in internals (mostly to understand FFI and interoperability) since 2016. I'm not a C guru as in I can't reliably _write_ greenfield C code. But I have worked with and on C/C++ teams and am well adept at groking existing code, hunting for bugs, and ensuring that submitted code does what it claims to do. It would be an honor to even be considered for this role and I'd love to earn your support! ~Eric Mann On 3/1/23 12:20 PM, Sergey Panteleev wrote:

I'll throw my hat into the ring, since I had previously applied for the PHP 8.2 release manager position. I have familiarity with internals and a bit of the release process due to packaging PHP as a downstream (supporting the IBM i platform) and maintaining PECL extensions (ibm_db2/PDO_IBM). There's a lot of triage of user issues (understanding them, providing solutions/patches, etc.), so I feel I could assess PRs on the other side of review. I've also thrown a lot of fixes back upstream, in particular with the ODBC extensions. Currently I just worked on some patches to improve error reporting with sessions/HTTP responses. As such, I think my background would make me a good candidate. ~cb

Hi everyone, I want to let you know that I'm interested in volunteering as the veteran release manager for PHP 8.3. I would be honored to help the two new release managers who will be joining the team, and strive to provide the same level of support that Ben did for Sergey and me.

Hello, I would like to announce that I want to candidate to become a PHP 8.3 Release Manager. I have been contributing to PHP core for almost 10 years and maintain some parts of PHP. Specifically FPM, JSON, OpenSSL ext and some other bits. I'm part time funded by PHP Foundation and as part of that I'm looking to document and improve the internal processes (some of them will be soon proposed) which will also cover RM functioning and possibly improving the release flow as well. That would be much better done from the RM position and that's one of the main reasons why I candidate. Regards Jakub On Wed, Mar 1, 2023 at 8:21 PM Sergey Panteleev <sergey@php.net> wrote:
