PHP has ZIP, GZip, and BZ2 support, but nothing for tar archives. Is
anyone interested in working on a tar extension?

You can take it over if you like.

FYI, pecl/phar has full tar support plus tar.gz/tar.bz in the 
soon-to-be-released 2.0.0 version.  Development on tar features has 
stabilized, I'm focusing on the zip support atm, but if you see a 
missing feature, feel free to chime in.
