Here are my notes on the subject:

Here is the mail I sent for which I got neither no answer nor bounce:

Dear JXC,

 Sorry I could not find your actual identity. I am interested in
feedback on JAI_CORE-151. Here is a copy/paste:

...
There has been no change to either jai-core and jai-imageio-core since ~2008.
If those projects have been abandonned, it would be a good thing to
simply release the source code of the mlib_jai & clib_jiio to let the
community fix any remaining bugs.
...

 Do you have any update for those project. Could you please share
some information on either jai-core or jai-imageio-core ? Do you know
if the source code for the binary medialib will ever be available ?

Thanks much !
