Thank you so much! I understand it's hard to find new maintainers, especially since XML and Xerces are well-established and known to just work.
If it looks to be impossible to create new releases due to a shortage of PMC members, there is hopefully a process at Apache to deal with this situation. Again, if I can do anything to assist, technically or by asking ASF for help, let me know.

As you've suggested within your mail below about the XercesJ 2.12.3 release, I'll be happy to make a fresh RC around these days for XercesJ 2.12.3 release and we can start the vote for that. But I think, that'll require me about few weeks time (to prepare a RC and to start the vote, for XercesJ 2.12.3 release). I need to check the sanity of XercesJ source code again for the 2.12.3 release and few other related tasks. I guess you're the only other person these days other than me who could make a XercesJ 2.12.3 release. It shall make all on XercesJ forum very happy, if you could make the XercesJ 2.12.3 release :) Otherwise, I could prepare RC for XercesJ 2.12.3 release and start a vote for that.
