1. Will it work also on Alpine Linux and MacOS? From what I see, the
title of these two POSIX shell scripts is "phpenmod - a PHP module
manager for Debian"
2. License MIT will cause any issues with bundling them in php-src?
3. Do you know where is the source code of these two scripts? When the
upstream script gets updated it would be then useful to copy/paste
changes into php-src. So the main development should be happening
upstream anyway. Meaning away from the PHP.

What these two scripts do is they enable "extensions" on Debian
installation. For example, phpenmod ftp
Some naming conventions name the PHP extensions (bcmath, openssl,
sodium...) also "modules". So, overall, nothing very simple to create
for all operating systems. Each Linux distribution has different
package repositories, locations to shared extension ini files, so that
is in this situation probably good to be left to 3rd party repository
maintainers or the Linux distro packages maintainers themselves.

Yes CLI tooling arsenal for more systems/devops oriented PHP world are
in need of improvements. There are many that lack handling extensions
(we were just discussing PECL for example in some other thread)...
