Incidentally, I was going to send a similar message tomorrow, volunteering to oversee the entire PHP involvement through from start to finish, applications, reviews, et al. I'd love to see the success we've had in the years we've done it, as well as increasing the retention of the participants as permanent committers. I wanted to check in with folks on IRC tomorrow morning to gauge their interest as well, since it would not only be the docs, but core and subprojects (if any) as well.
