I have two suggestions, assuming you proceed roughly as outlined in
your original post.
1. Start with /community
A new community website [4], it can be a place for people to ask
questions and discuss php in general - no one uses IRC anymore.
Like all the bold ideas in this thread, that alone would need some
serious planning and commitment.
Technically, it's easy - assuming you'd just install PHPBB / Gitter /
whatever, and not try to invent yet another wheel; but building a
*community* is hard.
For a start, off the top of my head, you would need to figure out:
* Who is this community aimed at, and how will you attract them to use it?
* Who will moderate it, and according to what policies? (Particularly
important if you're branding it as "the official PHP community")
* How will it relate to all the existing community tools (IRC,
StackOverflow Chat, phpug.slack.com, these mailing lists, etc, etc)?
If you can make it successful, I'm sure it would be a great asset, but
there's a long and uncertain road between here and there.
