That looks interesting! You should apply for a PECL account (you won't
need a php.net account) via <https://pecl.php.net/account-request.php>.
Note that there is already <https://pecl.php.net/package/opengl> (I
think this uses SDL instead of GLFW), but of course, that is no reason
not to have another OpenGL extension on PECL.
