It is very hard to detect which "php group" a person belongs to, our
karma system doesn't work like that.

We can easily detect if an account is an php.net SVN account though.
And the wiki can tell you if a person has write access to that specific page.

Most external users have assigned "write" groups, "qa", "rfc", "web".
These are the people who have requested access to these areas.

I was under the impression the vote plugin respected the write
permission acl to that page, so a user would need to have write karma
to that namespace to be able to vote.
Does it have no builtin functionality like that?
