Re: [PEAR] Port Image_Color and Image_Canvas to PHP8

Hello,

In the meantime, I opened the PR to port Image_Canvas to PHP 8 
(https://github.com/pear/Image_Canvas/pull/7). It's not ready since we 
need the tag in Image_Color but it works.

I know that people are busy but if we could finish this (tag in 
Image_Color, merge the aforementioned PR and a tag in Image_Canvas), it 
would really help the project I'm working on.

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu
