enchant:
I thought Pierre maintained enchant? Despite it haven't had much real
activity for years

gettext
WordPress can optionally use gettext for some of their po/mo files,
I'm not entirely sure how this is today[1], but it might be worth
taking into consideration if there are other users.

pdo_dblib
I have seen a few PRs here and there recently from two different guys,
perhaps one of them would be interested in maintaining this as there
this is the only way to connect to MSSQL from PHP (if you dislike
odbc) as of PHP7, with the removal of ext/mssql.

pdo_oci
I have heard that maybe Oracle was going to take over this one, but it
seems fairly inactive, maybe this thread can help reach out to them.

readline
If removed, I guess this won't affect sapi/cli?

pspell
Pspell should probably have been deprecated after enchant was added to
the core in 5.3 I think it was, we did remove aspell infavor but
pspell still remained for some reason and I think it should go too.

sysvmsg / sysvshm / sysvsem
We do indeed only have a category for semaphores. As a Windows guy, I
cannot really make use of them, so I will wait and hear some feedback
on this.


tokenizer
Like you mentioned, I think this should be kept in the core and
possibly maintained as a part of the parser. I do write some
development tools every now and then and make use of this amazing
extension and will only want it to be kept.


All in all, I think it is remarkable that we have 3 PDO extensions
here, perhaps it will be time to reivist the whole PDO saga, but that
is for another topic I guess
