So we are looking for a person volunteering to take over 'XML'. Please let us know if you are interested.
Unless someone else has been discussing this with CRAN in private or had a package depending on XML and was planning to step up but forgot, I would like to volunteer. I'm assuming that the Omegahat page is best preserved in its current form for historical reasons, so instead I have prepared a Git repository and a page with an option to file issues on the Codeberg forge: https://codeberg.org/aitap/XML With the help of the amazing list members, I have also set up a virtual machine to run the reverse dependency checks, so it should be possible to avoid immediate breakage if I have to make any changes. That's the theory, at least. (Also, thank you for your reply to my question!)
