The code says that wiki users who are in the “admin,” “phpcvs,” or “voting” 
groups are able to vote.

A wiki account shows up in the “phpcvs” group if they login using their 
master.php.net account:

https://github.com/php/web-wiki/blob/9bc9ba2c3d2d0d26ab510e4959466ab8680b7de7/dokuwiki/lib/plugins/phpcvs/auth.php#L44-L62

In that code, you can see that they automatically have the “phpcvs” group 
applied.

According to this code for master.php.net, a user account is considered 
approved if they have `cvsaccess` set to 1:

https://github.com/php/web-master/blob/0e511803a5fdc430897d53e76d4eaeea407f1e1e/manage/users.php#L335-L337

So, all approved php.net accounts are eligible to vote, which is currently 1858 
accounts.
