Looking for a PECL sponsor for PHP-FPM

Andrei today has officially given his word that he will not be able to support the project anymore. I am working in the background to take over the domains and assets. The only bottleneck (according to Rasmus who is here in Portland speaking right now) was the license. Andrei was holding out until it was "feature complete" before he changed the license to be PHP-compatible, but he has announced on the mailing list that it is now BSD licensed, and has included a LICENSE file in the .tar.gz file. Rasmus said it makes sense to become a PECL module. I am not a low-level developer. I am a PHP level script developer. So I would need someone who understands PHP internals, how to make a PECL module, and it would help to determine how to port this into the PECL framework. It basically creates a daemon based off libevent, and I'm not sure how that works as a PECL module; it seems like it needs to be something that gets into PHP core, or is a secondhand binary shipped with PHP. I may be out of my league though. Either way, I'm following the steps Rasmus told me to go. He said there was interest in one of the mailing lists in the past about getting PHP-FPM into PECL or PHP in general, but the license was the only piece really stopping it. That is no longer the case (and we'll do whatever is necessary to make that more official...) Any help is appreciated, either on-list or off-list.
