It probably overestimates my role and should encourage more people to support open-source projects, particularly @thephpf, which handled the two recent critical security vulnerabilities exceptionally well by preparing patches, including for older, unmaintained versions, and by communicating with package maintainers in the distributions (like @ondrej and me), and by providing information to users.
@remi I think you're underestimating yourself. I heard a lot of people talking about you these past few days. "Remi published the patched version", "Remi's repo is overloaded", "We have to update Remi's PHP in our Docker images", or from management "Who the hell is this Remi? Does he work for us?" etc.

I've worked almost 11 years now as maintainer/developer for 10+ tiny open source projects and I've ended so many discussions with -"Sure, do you have the time or the money?" when feature request has come in...
Give. Back. Now.
