The weekend saw horde/log added to the list 
https://www.ralf-lang.de/2021/11/21/horde-log-rewrite-goes-psr-3/

The horde/db library is also in the works but it is rich of __call, 
__get, inheritance subtleties of parameter covariance and keyed 
configuration arrays. Database adapters are hard to test and I don't 
think I will have a CI job for oracle. Setting up test scenarios for 
mysql/mariadb, postgresql and sqlite is already quite some work. It 
won't be done soon, too many more urgent topics on the table.
