Hi, Jack Bates is supposed to maintain php-codesniffer, available from: http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_CodeSniffer
Unfortunately, the PTS for this package shows that this package last upload was from 2008-10-05, few months after version 1.1.0 was released upstream (on the 2008-07-14). Upstream has been releasing every 3 to 6 months since, but none of the upstream versions have been released. PHPUnit has been uploaded to SID, and will soon migrate to testing. This PHP_CodeSniffer is a good QA tool as well, and we'd like to see the latest version in Wheezy as well. We sent a mail 5 days ago to Jack Bates, and he didn't reply. It's currently obvious that there's very few chances that Jack Bates will upload a new version of php-codesniffer before Wheezy freezes. So, we'd like to have php-codesniffer orphaned, then taken over by us (eg: the PKG-PHP Pear team). Jack Bates would anyway be very welcome to join the team, and continue to do his packaging (we can add him to the Uploaders: list if he wishes), even after this procedure. So, if nobody objects within the next following 2 or 3 days, and if Jack doesn't show up and oppose to this procedure, we'll do that. If anyone doesn't agree, please raise your concern *now* (including you, Jack).
