The “Release Process” RFC states[1]:

| But they [the roles of the RMs] are not:
| * Decide which features, extension or SAPI get in a release or not

That said, in my opinion it is too late for 7.3 to move a bundled
extension to PECL, except perhaps for unresolved or even unresolvable
security reasons.  ext/wddx comes to mind, and maybe there are others.
