Discussion has been very low on this topic since it was proposed on
August 19th, so I just opened the vote on the RFC whether to add
pecl_http to the core. The vote will be open until about 12:00 UTC on
Friday, February 6th.

Disclaimer: I'm not going to discuss the merits of the extension itself.
I've never used it but I'm sure it's perfectly doing its job.
As Nikita mentions, PSR-7 is under way and currently gaining some
traction. At the moment the PSR-7 interfaces are designed to be
immutable, although I that's still open for debate. If the RFC passes,
we'd be taking a fairly strong position and pushing the current
pecl_http implementation as a de-facto standard. Sure, PHP-FIG would
still be free to come up with their own standard, but it just doesn't
seem much fair to me.
Also, we're planning to move extensions from core to pecl, for example
ext/mysql which I is still widely used by many applications, despite its
known shortcomings. TBH, I don't see many reasons why a pecl extension
should be moved to core.
That's basically why I voted no earlier today.
Cheers
