Hannes We don't currently have a way to distinguish a meetup from a conference but it's on our roadmap. The CfP collection is actively maintained. You can get CfP open and close dates for all events, but they only appear in that feed while their CfP is open.
We did not add a specific "add this to php.net" because I suspect that will attract the spammers. I fully expect to spend the next 18 months of my life suggesting to event admins that they correctly tag their events - we're also working on better user documentation and support for this process, starting with making the tags part of the initial event submission. Currently the tags are not very widely used but I expect that to change as a result of the features that are newly live or open as pull requests. To some extent I think we need to see how this plays out. Hope that answers your questions.
