At least one of the authors (John Chapman) is MIA.  Nobody can find him.   
This was Walter's message:

"In order to avoid even the appearance of impropriety, there won't be any  
submissions to Phobos that are based on Tango code, even simply Tango  
interfaces, without the explicit permission of all authors of that code.

One of the major authors of the Tango time module, John Chapman, cannot be  
located so until he is and agrees the proposed Phobos time module cannot  
be accepted."
