Extensions status and next steps

enchant

  • Status: no maintainer
  • Next steps: make a maintainer call

ftp

  • Status: no maintainer, we need to see if we should make it community-maintained
  • Next steps: make a maintainer call

gettext

  • Status: no maintainer, we need to see if we should make it community-maintained as gettext is quite useful
  • Next steps: make a maintainer call

imap

  • Status: last commit of either of the listed maintainers (Chuck Hagenbuch, Ilia Alshanetsky, Pierre-Alain Joye) has been on 2010-11-18; the latest upstream release of the underlying libc-client has been on 2011-07-22; it seems that most distros still maintain libc-client, but on Windows we're still using the old 2007f; the mail related Windows PHPTs rely on IMAP
  • Next steps: ?

xmlrpc

  • Status: no maintainer. Cameron Ball stepped up on the list 2 years ago, but no communication since then.
  • Next steps: make a maintainer call

wddx

  • Status: no maintainer, multiple security bugs in the past, prime candidate for moving out
  • Next steps: make a maintainer call
