Repository / Silverstripe module seems unmaintained

[mleutenegger]

After 2.5 years since the last release supporting phpstan 0.11, phpstan has been continuously updated and is at the time of writing at 1.6. Newer versions add improved scanning abilities and provide a .phar, dropping any additional dependencies when installing it in a project. This module currently requires (suggests) phpstan <= 0.11, which introduces outdated dev requirements to any project which it is installed in. As the latest PR updating the phpstan dependency to 0.12 (#23) has now been open for over a year with no reaction from any maintainer and @nglasl is no longer a maintainer, this repository seems to be unmaintained.

As we are frequently using phpstan together with this module for static analysis in modules & projects, the outdated dependencies have started to hinder development. Therefore, we have created a fork of this module and updated it to be compatible with the newest versions of phpstan in order to continue working. As we are using phpstan in every silverstripe testsuite, the creation of our own fork allows us to react to problems faster, update dependencies quicker and add improvements more frequently.

You can find the module here: https://github.com/syntro-opensource/silverstripe-phpstan

@ current maintainers: If you are still interested in maintaining this module, I'd be glad to merge all changes made in the fork via PR. This approach however would only make sense, if this module keeps being actively maintained. Otherwise, I'd propose the mentioned fork replaces this module.
