(My intention was always to ask for a php.net git repo for it) Of course you (and Sascha) should be listed as lead (I'll leave the "active" flags up to you - not sure if this is supposed to mean in general, or on the extension itself), I have little interest in maintaining this extension myself. My motivation is to remove it from master as soon as possible, so those testing or experimenting with future releases get an early indication of what is coming, rather than it happening at 7.2 beta and people only getting a couple of months. However the RFC said remove and move to PECL, so I am trying to follow what we agreed on, and get it moved to PECL prior to deleting it from master. Would you like to handle this migration yourself?
