I did something similar earlier this year, where I closed 109 bug reports
that pertained to ancient extensions. I made a list of these extensions[1],
along with a list of other extensions that appeared to be abandoned as
well. Perhaps after verifying/updating these lists of unused PECL packages,
we could simply close all bug reports related to them, and remove them
from the dropdown menu of all PECL packages (when reporting a new
bug). PHP 4-only extensions could also be removed from the docs, but
that's a different matter.
