In short, step 2) above can be marked as done. Jordi Boggiano (from composer/packagist) has helped us out by talking to the maintainers of the packages that were using the "php" vendor name with a view to freeing up the name just for us. In fact, a bunch of the packages have already been moved. Also, we now have PhD on Packagist [1]. I added a composer.json to PhD so that we could add the package to Packagist, ahead of merging Maciej's branch when he thinks it is ready. Note, I'm currently the only maintainer of the package right now so we should definitely add more people to the list (for the "bus factor") and write down somewhere (on docs.php.net?) who has access there.
