If we see that the extension is unmaintained, we could move it out for 7.3 I think. And special thanks for re-raising this topic, which I initiated and then forgot to properly follow up :) > turn the RFC into a general RFC regarding “Process and Policy” – > basically, to decide on clear rules regarding maintainership of > extensions and moving of orphaned extensions to PECL.

Yes, I think having some rules on maintainership would be nice, right now I haven't even considered extensions which have maintainers listed but no longer active, etc. - though I suspect those exist too. But we should start with ones we think are orphans now. I'll update the RFC and put it for vote soon, I think, and then see how we can continue. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
