PHP Foundation executive director Elizabeth Barron said she is its only full-time employee, alongside 14 contractors who mostly work part time. External researchers and companies helped coordinate investigation and patches for recent vulnerabilities. AI has helped discover old flaws and improve development productivity, but proposed code changes have nearly doubled over a year without a comparable rise in contributors, increasing the human review burden. Foundation staffing should not be mistaken for the total number of PHP developers. The concern is that maintenance resources are inadequate relative to widespread dependence on the language.
