Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 It would be lovely if we can get the build server involved to fetch
 library. We might as well be able to incorporate composer autoloader (with
 composer.json `config.vendor-dir` set to `src/wp-includes` or another way.

 To be honest, I think this would derail this issue a bit outside because
 the majority of the work would be composer/grunt changes as opposed to
 modifying WordPress core to adapt to PHPMailer 6.

 Composer integration is something I personally would love to see in WP,
 and I would gladly dedicate a few hours every week to volunteer on this
 ♥️.
