1. Approach the original author(s) directly. You'll find Joe is much
more active in PHP atm (he's also an RM for 7.1), though Phil is
decently responsive via Twitter.
2. If that fails, go ahead and create your own RFC which references
their original version.

Given that the previous version *did* fail, you should take extra care
to identify and address the reasons why it failed.  The lack of scalar
type hinting was likely a component, but I doubt it was the overriding
reason for most.
