Sounds good. I've got some code for PHP7 on a branch that I can push,
but haven't had as much time as I'd like to put towards the project. I
can push what I have at the moment when I get a chance, although what
I'd really like to do is optimize some of the code to account for both
PHP5 and PHP7 via some macros to handle things like memory allocation
and object fetching and so forth. The APIs have changed a little
between the major PHP versions, but it's nothing a bit of C
preprocessor work can't handle. At the moment, I basically have the
extension compiling in PHP7 but have had to disable object destruction
and memory deallocation for the time being until I can clean things up
a bit. The current work is available at
https://github.com/dark-panda/php-geos-native/tree/php7 and I can push
it up to the new repo once I've been added to the committers team.

Anyways, that's where things sit at the moment. Sorry there's not much
new to report. I've logged in to the new repo and can be added to the
committers team now.

Cheers
