All new stuff, improvements, etc. is done there and then synced here. I wonder if it would make more sense to ask them if they like to release their versions through pecl.

As it was never in PECL before, I don't see how it can break their checkout :) About loosing the history in PECL, I don't have a problem with that. But maybe Frank or other like to keep it...
