My email in October, copied to four different mailing lists plus the pear-group@ list alias,
received exactly zero responses. Nobody else on this thread has reported any success either.
I think it's safe to conclude that there is no PEAR team, the entire project is abandoned, and
we need to decide what to do with the pear.php.net domain to protect the reputation of PHP.
Probably that means setting up a read-only mirror somewhere and pointing the DNS at it so that
clients don't break overnight.
