That's a very cool service you are offering! I will probably use your
service in near future. I'm not sure this package should be in the PECL
repository though. It is open-source in the sense that we can all read
the source code, but I don't think your extension could ever be
maintained by anyone from outside your company, unless the extension
implements some kind of standard way to export these statistics.
In short: The code is open-source, from what I understand the project is
not.
I would suggest you host your own PECL channel. This allows you to
distribute the extension in the same way all extensions are distributed,
and you can still have full control. phpunit (php code, so a PEAR repo)
does a similar thing. I think what works for PEAR should probably also
work for PECL.
Note: I'm very new to the PHP project and my opinions are not in any way
authoritative. Just sharing my 2 cents.
