Submit package to Packagist #59
Description
The repository contains a valid composer.json file, so the package could be installed via Composer, however attempting to composer require php/phd lists that the package could not be found.
Attempting to submit the package via https://packagist.org/packages/submit gives "The vendor name php is reserved, please use another name or reach out to us if you have a legitimate use for it."

See the discussion in #39 for some context for the removal from Packagist.

Apologies for the newbie question (and also if this isn't the right forum for this) - is there an effort anywhere to modernize/refactor the project at all? It seems like the problem is the project isn't stable enough and I'd love to help with that, although I don't know how to start beyond just opening PRs for anything I find broken.

That's a very good question. The project really needs a maintainer... but this is where the problem starts. This project needs tests to ensure we don't introduce regression issues. There's no point in adding tests for functionality that nobody uses, so we should identify who uses this project and which obsolete parts can be removed (e.g. PDF). Then we need someone to modernize the code and someone to review the changes. Currently, there are 2 PRs that are stuck in a limbo because of the points I just mentioned. We can verify that the happy path works for the use case that PHP.net has, but who will verify that the rest of the codebase still works?
Maybe this should be announced on the mailing list and if after some time nobody raises any objections, we internalize the project just for the purposes of php.net, add relevant tests and modernize the code base.
