What?
* brotli is widely used compression in web (better than gzip), so is
PHP. PHP applications (i.e. w3 total cache) use this extension to
compress http responses on-the-fly.
* Features live ebuild
* Compatible with php versions currently available in tree
* Links with app-arch/brotli
Why (in ::gentoo)?
* I don't have any strong reason for it to be in ::gentoo. It can be in ::guru too.
* It is not a standalone application or package but the extension to already established PHP ecosystem.
* There are already 200+ dev-php/\* packages including extensions like this one in ::gentoo.
* Alpine and freebsd have already packaged it https://repology.org/project/php:brotli/ indicates that package is trusted by other downstreams as well.
