Sorry, I don't believe in this "hostile" argument. Yes people have
strong opinions and aren't not necessarily diplomatic while stating them
(for all different reasons like Ego, care for the product, language
barriers, cultural background, pure opinion, ...) but still we gave out
35 new git accounts (not only php-src) within the first 9 months of this
year.
Internals can be loud and harsh, as it is about the core which is
important for many, but look to the side, like pecl-dev list or
#php.pecl they are mostly helpful towards people who try to learn about
php-src. (at least I hope so, while trying to answer as many beginner
questions as I can in my available time)
