I honestly can't say.  I don't know a whole lot about PHP.

That said, the state you'd be in is not really uncommon; upstream developers go
away all the time, and all you can do is deal with it when it happens.  You say
you've been using and relying on the software so you're probably in a far better
position than most to work on it.  The situation we're really trying to prevent
by asking these difficult questions is the inclusion of software in Fedora  that
ends up being completely unmaintained, with accumulating bugs which all involved
lack the ability to fix.  Plus the security team eventually has to fix every
security-related bug that isn't fixed by someone else regardless of how much we
have to learn about PHP internals in the process.

Of course, if things get bad enough we'll just drop the software and everything
that depends on it in the next Fedora release, but we always want to avoid doing
that kind of thing because it's not nice to the end users to have software
disappear between releases.

Don't forget that this is a community and you can always ask for help; my advice
is to try to talk to the maintainers of other PHP packages and see if they'd be
willing to help you out if you need it.
