I was one of the original developers of the ibm_db2 module and also helped out
with the PDO code.
But then the development of those modules was moved away from Toronto. I'm no
longer with IBM, so I don't have access to the DB2 source code anymore. The
PHP modules were actually part of the DB2 code and the repo on pecl was just
updated with aggregated commits.
Since I'm no longer with IBM I can't find out who takes care of that part of
the code now.
Usually the email addresses should be valid. However, if maintainers can't be
reached the PECL admins will have to decide how to handle that. There are a
few options:
- remove access from current maintainers and add a new maintainer
- mark that extension abandoned
- one forks the code and starts over with ibm_db2-ng or something
I can only say that after the code was no longer in my purview, it was really
hard to get fixes and/or features in. Especially since the reaction time of
the new team was abysmal.
Cheers,
K. C.
