Find PHP engineers and maintainers

The list above ranks the most-starred public PHP repositories, drawn from the public GitHub graph. Across 11,883 PHP repositories in the public graph, the maintainers, top contributors, and recurring committers are a powerful signal for where PHP expertise lives.

Behind every popular PHPproject is a small group of people who actually shipped it. They’re the PHPengineers, library authors, and infrastructure builders worth knowing — whether you’re hiring, partnering, or doing technical research.

Refolk turns this list into a search. Ask for PHP maintainers hiring”, “contributors to PHP repos based in Europe”, or “companies whose engineers ship PHP” and Refolk returns a ranked shortlist with the commits, repos, and profiles that earned each person a spot.

How this list is built

Refolk searched GitHub for public repositories whose primary language is PHP, ranked them by stargazer count, and kept those with at least 100 stars. The list refreshes once a day.
