bug fixes, improvements to the <a href="https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.reflection.php" target="_blank" class="external-link">Reflection extension</a> and various cleanup. In March 2025, I requested and was granted access to make
direct changes (and approve others&#039; changes) to PHP. I also became the official
maintainer of the reflection extension.</p><p>Also in March 2025, I volunteered to serve as one of the release managers for
the then-subsequent version of PHP, PHP 8.5. In April, the community voted to
decide between the volunteers (luckily there were plenty of candidates) and I
was one of the two &quot;rookie&quot; candidates chosen to help with the release. You can
read more in <a href="/Blog/20250417-php85-release-manager">my blog post</a>.</p><p>PHP uses a process of requests for comment when proposing and implementing major
