Executive summary:

The following draft is now official, having been accepted by FESCO
last week:

 * The first three sections of
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/PHP (Requires and
   Provides for PEAR and PECL packages and Macros and Scriptlets for
   PECL packages).

These should be written into the guidelines soon if this hasn't
already been done by the time you read this.

There were no votes this week, so no issues are pending FESCO
ratification.

Misc business:

There was more discussion of the proposed guidelines for packaging
Python eggs: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/PythonEggs

This is a complex issue; if you have interest in Python packaging then
please read over the draft and voice your concerns.
