According to the new release process it is already EOL because it's over three years now, however the RFC vote was in that lifetime so I assume that probably there is some transistion phase. If so, is there a planned date? Any thoughts/plans about PHP 5.3 EOL?

No date for 5.3 yet. Depends how development goes on the next version
after 5.4. EOL announcements are in the release announcements. 5.2 EOL
was announced here: http://www.php.net/archive/2010.php#id2010-07-22-1
