To be able to push to the git repo, you can use your php.net user+password when cloning the repo with the https url, or you can log with your php.net account on https://master.php.net/login.php and edit your own useraccount and and your ssh pubkey, wait a little bit for the change to propagate and use your private key to clone the repo through the ssh url. For editing the docs you can use the online editor at https://edit.php.net/ or check out the english documentation via svn and manually edit and commit the docs. See http://doc.php.net/ for more information about the docs. For handling github pull requests, you should be able to use your php.net account on https://qa.php.net/pulls/, you can open/close PRs, and you can also view the required steps to manually (eg git fetch + git merge) merge the given pull request. If you have any questions don't hesitate to drop a mail to the list! -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
