[Code] Maintainer of PHP OpenID library?

Thu Oct 13 21:12:43 UTC 2011

python-openid was last touched July 2010.  ruby-openid was last touched May
2010.  so I'm gonna go with no, the other libraries don't have clear
ownership at this point either.  I believe the non-library repositories have
owners, so they're fine.
