Yeah, a new package is probably the best solution here. If the repo was under the PHP organization on GH, it would be different. Of course, a new package has downsides, such as what to do about the documentation (copy & paste, and go from there is likely the way to go). Anyhow, do you already have a PECL account? Otherwise please apply via <https://pecl.php.net/account-request.php>. Cheers, Christoph
