Hi,

I think a lot of the release problems we have now are influenced by the
fact that the ownership and feeling of responsibility for the different
parts of PHP is becoming very diluted.  We should try giving the feeling
of ownership back to the maintainers, here's a suggestion on how to:

* give developers a sense of ownership in their modules by:
** assigning _one_ lead maintainer to each module
** mailing module bug summaries to maintainers
** making maintainers more publicly visible
** separately list maintainer[s] in credits (maintainer[s] and
developers)
** making statistics for each module showing the "performance" of the
   maintainer in terms of bug fix ratio etc.
** assign a person responsible for testing during RCs
