Hi,
I see the xdiff module hasn't been maintained for some time, and my
efforts
to email the developer have resulted in bounces.
As part of my employment with ITC Compliance Ltd in the UK, I have
developed an algorithm that requires this module. My employer and I
are
concerned about it's future, and so they have agreed to sponsor me as
an
ongoing maintainer of it.
So, what do I need to do?
The package is already marked as not maintained and the package page [1]
provides a link to the takeover instructions [2].
Please, go ahaed. If you want to migrate the sources to git, jump into
the
#pecl.dev channel on EFNET and look for @Tyrael.
Please keep in mind, that any action like approving your web or scm
account
might take a few days before anyone responsible has the time to handle
it.

Hi Marc,
I've approved your pecl.php.net account and I've added you as lead to
the xdiff package.
I would like to know if you want to keep the code under the svn.php.net
repository, or if you wanna migrate it to git.php.net.
Either way, for being able to commit your changes to the php.net
svn/git repo, you will need a php.net account, for that please fill out
http://php.net/git-php.php and I can approve that for you and grant you
karma to be able to push code to the xdiff repo.

Hi Ferenc, Michael,
Thank you for your assistance with this. I've submitted possibly the most
entertaining form I've seen for a while, and would prefer to migrate to git.
Regards,
Marc
Hi,
I've moved the repo to git.php.net:
http://git.php.net/?p=pecl/text/xdiff.git;a=summary
And mirrored it to github:
https://github.com/php/pecl-text-xdiff
I also granted you karma to the pecl/text/xdiff git repo and for the docs
With that you should be able to update the docs, push changes to the code,
tag new versions, and upload releases on pecl.php.net
Don't forget to add yourself as lead to the package.xml, otherwise when
you upload the next release tarball, it will automatically remove you from
the package maintainers.
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!

duh, I've just realized that I've forgot to approve your php.net account
request.
I've done it just now, hope you didn't got too confused why wasn't that
working.
