I think we've really reached an unhealthy situation in PHP release management. We used to shift around this responsibility quite frequently. Sometimes people would assume responsibility even for a mini release. When people thought (and rightfully so) that I was a bit too busy to run the PHP 5.1 releases, I had no problem with Ilia taking over. I saw this as a positive change. We got another community member to assume responsibility and take leadership. This is a good thing(TM).
Derick, I don't understand why you're holding on to this so much. I think you've been very busy in the past 2-3 months, and even if you weren't, there's no reason for Pierre not to run some releases now. Turning over the RM management over from time to time is a good thing for our community. This shouldn't be an indefinite job. It never was in the past and it's good to let others assume responsibility too. After Pierre runs a few, it should go to someone else...
