First of all, thanks for working on that :)

Are you sure we want to mix both PHP and KDevelop that much?
Maybe another entry would be appropiate for the PHP support alone. I think
that adding the PHP part in the introducion (1st paragraph) can be
misleading/distracting (showing that we might have changed our path or
something like that, which i don't think it is the case). The real news is
that KDevelop4 is out, PHP support is one of its consequences.

Maybe we could consider using 1st person ("we think" instead of "I think"),
but that depends a lot on if you want to make it like a letter from the
maintainer or a team note. (I'm not against a maintainer letter, of course).

Hope this helps,
Aleix
