Hi all,

In the role of "Veteran" release manager, Pierrick Charron [0], the PHP 8.2 
release manager,
has volunteered to mentor two rookies, so there will be two seats up for grabs.

For those two rookie seats, we’ve got three eager candidates for your 
consideration [1-3].

Voting is now open on https://wiki.php.net/todo/php83 using "Single 
Transferrable Vote" (STV).
Those who participated in prior elections will recognize the format;
for the rest, the TL;DR is that it allows each voter to state their preference 
order by voting multiple times.

There are three polls on the wiki for your three preferences, in descending 
order.

Using some math that I’ll leave to Wikipedia[4] to explain,
we’ll start with the 1st preference and gradually remove candidates with the 
fewest votes,
transferring votes that had previously gone to them to their voter’s 2nd 
preference, and so on.
Once two candidates have a quorum (Droop quota), those will be officially 
selected as our RMs.

Derick Rethans has volunteered to proctor the tabulation of the votes, since he 
still has scripts from last year.

As you consider each candidate, please bear in mind that this is a 3.5 year 
commitment and is a position of trust.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Your 8.2 Release Managers,
Pierrick Charron, Sergey Panteleev & Ben Ramsey

Vote Opens: 1 April 2023
