I second this. > At least in my personal opinion, I think it's important that people granted > voting rights as community representatives have at least some historical > involvement in RFC discussions. I agree with this, but have no specific objection to granting Tobias voting karma, as this is underspecified; how long should they participate? What kinds of involvement are appropriate? Being underspecified is not really their fault, and I don't feel like it would be an abuse to grant them voting karma, but do think it would be an abuse to deny them voting karma indefinitely because "we" don't get around to specifying it. It should be less of a decision on a case-by-case basis and more of a checklist. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
