just to make it clear: I approved those account request, because I agree
with you that it really an important task.
but I also think that many people would argue with you that having no karma
or any commits should be allowed to vote("People with php.net SVN accounts
that have contributed code to PHP").
it was also brought up multiple times in the past that how can this and
that php.net account has no karma at all.
Personally I would be fine with either decision (that they allowed to vote
or not), but I think that it would be nice if we could discuss this and get
a consensus soon instead of later when somebody makes a big drama out of it.
