Hi Stefano, we recently discussed this problem briefly in the pmc mailing list. The overall situation is very disappointing right now (and of course frustrating).
I think there are two possibilites: close down excalibur and move the code to the community who is interested in it - or do the opposite and try to get the community using this stuff more involved in Excalibur (or one of its sub projects). While the first solution is rather dramatic currently unclear to me (where to move which code etc.) I think we should try the second way first. So my question is if you (or someone else from the james project) is interested in becoming both, a committer and a pmc member of excalibur?
