Bug Reports Targeting Ancient PECL Extensions

Hi internals!

There doesn't appear to be a status quo on what to do with bug reports targeting

PECL extensions that seem completely unmaintained (i.e. no releases in many years -

such as bug reports for the SAM extension[1][2]). Would anyone have any objections

if I closed such reports with a "Won't Fix," given their abandoned status? I know Kalle

has tagged some of these bug reports with "Suspended," but given the unlikeliness

of these extensions ever being revived, it seems unnecessary to keep such bug

reports lying around in the bugs DB.

Thanks,

Tom

From my POV I'd only ask for a "template-comment" along the line of "As
the extension isn't maintained since <inser year> there won't be a fix
for this issue. We're therefore closing it now."

Apart from that I'm fine with it :)
