I think that's how we should do it. So I will have (hopefully) enough time to understand the extension development and get into the process of the PHP community. By the way: Pierre Joye mentioned to request access via a github account at https://www.php.net/git-php.php. I read the complete instruction. But I'm still unable to process successfully. I always get an error saying the answer is not correct. Surely I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. That's a similar problem as with the subscription form. Please consider to make it more user friendly. I am sure other people will fail as well. What are the next steps? In which area should I register as a maintainer? In the ext or PECL area? How do I do that and who is my contact person? Regards, Martin
