Hi, I think it would be better to have the RMs selected sooner than later. >From my personal experience having an RM who has also has to RM the previous version is a bit sub-optimal, and for a major version it would be better to have two dedicated people who can focus on the 7.0 release only. Having said that I'm willing to take on the role for 7.0 if there are no better options available, but in this case the other RM should be somebody with strong php-src knowledge to compensate for my shortcomings. About the potential volunteers for co-RMing, I remember Kalle explicitly volunteer for 7.0, and I also have some vague recollection seeing both Pierre and Derick mention to villing to RM, but I can be wrong there. If there are others who wanna apply, please speak up, usually there aren't many people to chose from, but I think the more options the better.
