As one of those two people, it would help to have an official maintainer
for this extension. The path for "something's broken" or "something should
be different" to "committed fix" has been pretty murky.

I'm interested in putting my name forward for this. It would help to know
more about what's expected. In particular, when PRs poke at broader design
questions with the extension, what's the maintainer's role? One example:
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2017

Thanks,
Adam
