You can probably google it to get more details - it's Linux Foundation thing that is used by many projects. Anyway after getting some feedback I decided not to proceed with this and just proposing much lighter variant which is purely updating the CONTRIBUTING.md : https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/18356 . I don't think this update really needs an RFC as it's not really a policy change so if there are no objections, I will merge it in the next few weeks. Kind regards Jakub
