OK, I'll have a look at php-apigen and dependencies, preparing updates
for PHP 7. Can I keep you in Uploaders, or would you rather be removed?

Thanks for clarifying. I will consider that when looking at the
packages, but I think I can handle the workload. I may need a hand or
helpful hint getting used to the pkg-php tools, though, so if you see me

I have requested to join pkp-php on alioth.
