I believe in self discipline. As long as RFC are in the proposal
phase, it can be marked as such, no harm (namespace rfc)

I don't think PEAR as a whole has a place there. PEAR has its own wiki
and is an independent project. The pear installer itself can certainly
be part of GSOC though (keeping the order of the three cases listed by
Lukas ealier).

Yes, that's the challenge. To find someone motivated enough and
willing to actually join the project is somehow hard. To find someone
who will disappear as soon as the gsoc is over is "easier" ;)
