GD libraryプロジェクトをphp.netに寄贈？

So it's time to do the right thing and offer the bazaar-keepers the keys to the cathedral.
What I am proposing is to move gd development to php.net. I would still
like to maintain http://www.boutell.com/gd/ as a useful resource for gd
programmers and make contributions myself as an individual developer.
But php.net would become the official home of gd, and I would
relinquish control.

Thomas Boutell氏からPHP-DEV宛に提案されました。かなりびっくり。
