Well, having the new implementation in PECL is a logical step to publish
the code and let people test it.

And while the issue was first reported by Debian, the other distributions
share the same concerns. This is why PHP should consider this - because the
other parts of the eco-system are already going forward with this.
I agree to what you said about a bug not being a discussion. But it was the
first try to communicate with the community. Today, I would raise the issue
differently, but Remi's mail with the subject of "Proposal: new
implementation of JSON extension" should have been a good start.
