I have contacted Joshua Eichorn author of HTML_AJAX for an interview in the AJAX Magazine. The interview was more focused on AJAX and Josh experience with HTML_AJAX but I tryed to ask about PEAR more specificly. Note that Joshua is also the author of PHPDocumentator :
Hatem : You started contributing to PEAR project with the popular PhpDocumentor and today HTML_AJAX, can you tell us about your PEAR experience ?
I've been involved in PEAR since pretty early in its existence, I started out lurking and eventually became more involved through phpDocumentor. PEAR has always been an interesting experience, it contains a large number of strong developers who always seem to have an opinion on every issue. This has made for some trying times in the past as PEAR tried to refine it goals. In the past year or so PEAR has been a pleasure to work with, the new package acceptance process works well, and new developers have been very accepting to feedback. Its also been great to get extra help from the PEAR QA team on maintaining phpDocumentor since i'm no longer doing much actual development on it.
