If you have some free time and the will to work on this project, I don't see
what can stop you. This kind of package is missing in PEAR and will probably
be very welcomed by a lot of php developers. Just make sure the license you
use to distribute your code is PEAR compatible.
Personally, I'd vote +1 for such a package.
