I tested this afternoon's work on itself. Packagist now has 
horde/components 1.0.0alpha5.

Notable changes:

- Unbundled all the bundled tools.

- Removed support for abandoned checkers PHPDCD and PHPCPD
- Fixed support for recent versions of PHPMD
- The linter task will now ignore the vendor dir
- The code will no longer run under php7.4

- PHPUnit support works but is a little shaky. I will probably rework 
the phpunit adaptor to hook into PHPUnit 10's event system.

- horde/components seems not to have "queue versions" in bugs.horde.org 
so I could not test if it actually does anything. At least it did not error.

- I skipped tasks that could create noise we don't want at this point in 
time, i.e. "website", "announce" etc.

- I did not upload to pirum. I think we should reserve pirum for any H5 
stuff that depends on pear. Maybe we should drop the package.xml file in 
the H6 branch altogether?

- I found a truckload of stuff that wants fixing for PHP 8.2+ including 
undeclared properties, sloppy return types, inconsistent camel case in 
class names -  a version alpha6 will probably follow soon.

- We sometimes use unnamespaced versions of library code where a 
namespaced version is already available.

- The transpiler feature is probably not ready for upstream usage. I 
will not use it here.
