Good afternoon, What a bold rejection, a bit surprising. For one, there is a consensus on key community having a vote right since we

introduced rfc. We have been more strict but the consensus remains. Secondly, yes, being an active contributor makes it amazingly easier to

actually have a vote, de facto. Which brings me to why we rejected Nicolas request. Nicolas has

contributed, and is contributing. Countless on spot bugs reports, working

on rfc, and working these days on actually providing patches for new

features. So I kindly ask to accept his request and if anyone has issues about non

(lot of)code contributors being to vote, then bring it on via a rfc and let

us take a decision from there. But blocking Nicolas is not a good move as

of now best, VCS Account Rejected: nicolasgrekas rejected by salathe /o\ --

Thank you Pierre.

I very much look forward to the rejection being reconsidered.

Note that contrary to what is suggested in another subthread, I'm not

seeking for a community representative mandate nor justifying my request by

my supposed "status" in userland PHP. I did not mention Symfony in my

application because this has nothing to do with it, please don't make it a

"Symfony wants a seat" discussion. Yes, I'm making it personal, because it

is: I'm asking on my own personal behalf, as a free and independent soul

and mind.

My involvement in PHP itself pre-dates anything else I've done in the OSS

space by more than 10 years, here are my first bug reports, back in 2002,

PHP 4.1

https://bugs.php.net/search.php?search_for=&boolean=0&limit=30&order_by=&direction=DESC&cmd=display&status=All&bug_type=All&project=All&php_os=&phpver=&cve_id=&assign=&author_email=okin7+at+yahoo+dot+fr&bug_age=0&bug_updated=0&commented_by=.

Since then I've reported apparently 60 bug reports

https://bugs.php.net/search.php?cmd=display&author_email=nicolas.grekas%2Bphp%40gmail.com&order_by=ts2&direction=DESC&limit=30&status=All&reorder_by=ts2

and contributed to many others

https://bugs.php.net/search.php?search_for=&boolean=0&limit=30&order_by=&direction=DESC&cmd=display&status=All&bug_type=All&project=All&php_os=&phpver=&cve_id=&assign=&author_email=&bug_age=0&bug_updated=0&commented_by=nicolas.grekas%2Bphp%40gmail.com

.

Of course, I'm also involved in userland PHP and I think that's an integral

part of my application. I can give you some track records on the topic if

you want, everything is public.

If participating in discussions on php-internals counts, I apparently

contributed 177 times here

https://marc.info/?l=php-internals&r=6&s=grekas&q=b&w=4, the first

message in 2010.

Since contributing to the source code is also nice to accredit my request, I

do own some commits in the git history

https://github.com/php/php-src/commits?author=nicolas-grekas. That's a

ridiculously low number of them I agree. Many will consider life itself as

ridiculous, so I'm still proud of them, very modestly.

And of course, I've got this pending PR/to-be-RFC

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/5083 showing I'm not going to stop

here.

But if that's not enough, what's the bar? Who else passed this scrutiny?

Thanks,

Nicolas
