​Let's go line by line, then?

1. Email internals@lists.php.net to measure reaction to your intended
proposal.

2. Get wiki RFC karma

Already had that.
​
​3. ​Create the RFC

Yes, obviously, I did that. :)

4. When your RFC is ready for discussion:

* Change the status of your RFC page to “Under Discussion”

Check.

* Change its section on https://wiki.php.net/RFC to “Under Discussion”

Totally fair to cry foul on this one; I did not do this. I wasn't aware of
this step, otherwise I would have.
* Send email to internals@lists.php.net introducing your RFC.

I did this two months ago.

5. Listen to the feedback, and try to answer/resolve all questions.

​There were no substantial questions that needed to be addressed/resolved.
People expressed concerns, but if we blocked every RFC because someome has
a concern that doesn't form a substantive question, would we ever get
anything done?

6. When discussion ends, and a minimum period of two weeks has passed since
you mailed internals@lists.php.net in step 4, then you can move your RFC to
“Voting” status.

Two months >= two weeks.

So really, I didn't "ignore the voting process", but I did miss a couple of
details. Pardon my novice mistake.
