I wasn't actually looking for something to do - someone mentioned it was marked
as unmaintained, the web page made it sound like the PEAR group wanted someone to
step up and take on responsibility for the package, so I offered to do so. I think
the text that goes on the 'orphaned package' pages is incredibly misleading in
that aspect.
