Hi, the 4.0.10 branch is supposed to be supported only for security fixes, but we got two patches to support PHP >= 5.2.0 and < 5.2.3. Any objection to merge these and release 4.0.10.8 ?

I don't think it's worth of releasing, but we can merge those fixes. Who is actually using these versions? IMHO they contain way too many security issues for real use...

Red Hat uses it, that's why we extended the end of life date. This is due to an older PHP version.

According to distrowatch [1] (I could not find better source right now), RHEL 6 has 5.3.3 and RHEL 5 has 5.1.6.
Looking at other distros, I've found only Fedora 7 with 5.2.2 being affected by this bug, but that's from 2007 and without any support now.
IMHO the biggest reason for supporting longer 4.0 is to support MySQL older than 5.5, which is way more common than PHP 5.2.

Indeed this was done for MySQL 5.0 in RHEL 5 and 6: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.phpmyadmin.devel/15726/match=robert+...
