Then, I think it would make sense to give Todd committer access. However I 
haven't seen much activity around Erlang in thrift-dev

Yep, Ben (who knows C# and Python) appears to be MIA, THRIFT-209 is dead 
simple but can't be fixed because there aren't committers who can review the 
patch.

I've contributed a couple of patches for C#, but I think Michael Greene and 
Anthony Abate surely know more C# than I.

Good. BTW, why does the Thrift compiler have special options for PHP 
(-php, -phpi, etc.) instead of using regular generator options (--gen xxx)?

I'm sure I'm going to piss off some people, but since those languages don't 
have a mantainer and their paucity of tests, I would lower their priority (or 
label them as unsupported) when the next version of Thrift is released.

Cheers.
