Thank you for the reply! I have gotten no response on the emails listed in the PECL information. Truth in advertising: I work for IBM and would like to publish some updates to the PECL, though total ownership might not be sustainable. If I had access, I could at least push some updates and recruit maintainers if none can be found. I would prefer not to mark that extension abandoned as many still use it.
I've already created a fork of the code on GitHub, and publishing a fork to PECL may still be a good option. On Thu, Aug 20, 2020 at 5:10 PM Helmut K. C.
