Because it is not currently being worked does not mean it is not
maintained. It means that it is not currently being worked on. It is by
no means a dead project.

That is a farse. Companies exist at the benefit of the shareholders. The
shareholders may deem that their main goal is making money in which case
your argument is valid. However if CMD took that approach I would be far
richer and doing a lot more then PostgreSQL. We could easily double our
revenue just by offering MySQL + PostgreSQL support and development.

Well that would require not using PHP at all wouldn't it? ;) However,
Alvaro is correct there are currently no resources dedicated to PL/php.
There will be in the future but for now we are busy with other things.

It is however, BSD licensed please feel free to actually contribute.
