Hi,
The question is in the subject. Is someone currently responsible for
phar maintenance and evolution ?
From what I see in history, it seems noone is actively working on it
but I'd like it to be confirmed. I don't want to take it over atm
because what I have in mind still requires a lot of work before
something is ready to go public but I must first ensure this does not
conflict with anyone else's work.
Thanks
François

Short answer: no
Long answer: no and it sucks that we don't have anybody actively
maintaining it because it is widely used and sucks when nobody takes care
of the bugs and some of those bugs can even affect parts unrelated to phar
but related to stream wrappers in general.
for history about the creation of phar as a format see
https://blog.engineyard.com/2014/php-53-5th-anniversary and about the
introduction to be included to the core distribution see
http://devzone.zend.com/959/zend-weekly-summaries-issue-339/
unfortunatelly both Greg and Marcus went MIA after the initial 5.3.0
release so phar is in a bit of a hiatus since then.
Ralph Schindler offered to take over the maintenance of phar and fixed a
couple of outstanding bugs but somehow that did not get much further than
that.

Well, it's a shame. I locally hacked phar a while back to suit my use
(proprietary) use cases, so I'm happy to help revive phar maintenance.
I'm doubly interested if François wants to approach revival using his new
PCS model.
