I think this is a very good point. There are other ways to support PHP
too. Like assisting in regular testing of upcoming versions. Helping
writing the docs. Contributing to RFC discussions (we have a large
codebase, heavily visited site, and a lot of experience dealing with it,
surely there could be a thing or two we could contribute). Triaging the
bugs (one of the most necessary, thankless, and under-appreciated jobs
in an open-source project). Probably more...
