Re: [PEAR] Port Image_Color and Image_Canvas to PHP8

Hello,

Thanks to Daniel O'Connor (@CloCkWeRX) for merging this. It seems that 
people from all over the world are working on this !

Unless you have other suggestions of improvement, could you create a new 
tag ? As was done in HTML_Template_IT, you can add me as a maintainer 
(please use [email protected] as email).
