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, 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. Ideally, at least one of candidate should be a core developer that can assess more technical PR's. Other candidates do not necessarily need to have deep knowledge of internals but should understand above mentioned points. 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].

Good afternoon! I'm currently still happy as a rookie RM for 8.3, but if no one else is interested in stepping forward, would love to volunteer for the veteran RM role for 8.4. ~Eric

Hello, all. I would like to candidacy to Release Manager for PHP 8.4. I created mb_trim functions for since PHP 8.4. There may also be mb_ucfirst and mb_lcfirst functions add to them. I also have other ideas, such as the grapheme_str_split function, and I would like to take care of them if they are included in PHP 8.4. I'm not necessarily familiar with the internals of Zend Engine, but I'm proud that I've taken particular care in maintaining versions. Also, My company (Cybozu Inc.) I currently work for understands my PHP Internals activities and gives me time, so I would like to contribute further. Regards Yuya Hamada

I'm putting my hat in to the ring again for 8.4 release manager. As for qualifications, I think I'm somewhat familiar with internals, as I maintain a PHP distribution for the IBM i platform as well as various database extensions (Db2 extensions in PECL, and now ODBC in ext/). I have done some triage of PHP changes, at least in regards to platform compatibility. The work of a release manager seems like a logical extension of that. ~cb

I'd like to also submit my name for the 8.4 RM election. I've been doing small bug fixing since PHP 5.3 and added a few features to pdo_pgsql: I'm familiar with internals, but not so much with ZE or JIT. I've been running since years a custom CI build with PHP nightly builds, testing popular projects in order to catch potential BC breaks early and fix or report them. Cheers
