How does one submit ideas for new functions to be added to PHP?
<p>For instance, I see the question:</p>

<p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1252693/php-str-replace-that-only-acts-on-the-first-match">PHP: str_replace that only acts on the first match?</a></p>

<p>and while its nice to find a few answers to this, it'd be cool if we could add 
 strn_replace()  </p>

<p>with an argument that controls how many replacements to make.</p>

<p>I have no idea how to reach the PHP development team, could anyone provide some insight about the process to suggest new functionality and how it gets decided upon.</p>
