I agree with your points, and I think the PPA is a great suggestion
(one was unaware of up until recently). However, I've moved on from
the maintainership of phc (position vacant!), and so am not in a
position to do this.

(I should point out that during the vacancy I am applying all patches
that past muster to phc, in consultation with their authors, lest I
become a roadblock for someone else's work.)
