I don't think it can be added to PECL as it breaks its licensing rules
(mcrypt is GPL licensed):
- Note: wrappers for GPL (all versions) or LGPLv3 libraries will not be
accepted. Wrappers for libraries licensed under LGPLv2 are however allowed
while being discouraged.
See https://pecl.php.net/account-request.php
