How to suggest new package or take over existing package?

Hello! I've made changes to Event_Dispatcher package and would like to release it as Event_Dispatcher2 the reason for name change is because it's php5 code. Changes I've make - private/protected/public keywords, type hinting, code cleanup, and most importantly it now implements SplSubject interface It's still backward-compatable with Event_Dispatcher but only for those who are using the current package with php5 The link to "New maintainer guide" on https://pear.php.net/pepr/ is broken, so there is no way to find our how to propose a new package. Basically I would also like to release another totally new package I wrote - a cache framework. I am looking for co-developers for that package who can write test cases (I am not good at writing tests.) and to implement back-end cache class for APC and Cache_Lite. I already wrote backend classes to use memcache and memcached How can I submit my proposed packages?
