Hi everybody! It seems there are a lot of (old) bug reports for unmaintained PECL extensions. I wonder what the official stance is on that. For instance, there is #57551[1], which has been "suspended" by Joe Watkins recently. I'm not too happy with "suspending" those bug reports, because they're lying around without a realistic chance of getting fixed, and come up from time to time when looking for a "random bug".

If we'd like to deal with those reports, "Won't be fixed" seems more suitable (similiarly to "PHP 4 support discontinued" on https://bugs.php.net/quick-fix-desc.php). Marking those bugs as suspended looks like a good idea to me. They are not cluttering open bugs anymore and they can be easily excluded from "random bug" functionallity.

Then there is #58612[2] which is about an extension that had its only release in 2003, and its latest commits 5 years ago (apparently, some standard commits for several PECL packages). Wouldn't it make sense to close such bug reports ("Sorry, but you're using an unmaintained extension ..."?). Thoughts?
