Sure. I'm also willing and able to review your source packages if you
like. Let me know...
BTW, do you use CVS? You might look into using cvs-buildpackage, and
even having your package CVS area publicly accessible. That way
others such as myself could not just review stuff but commit stuff
there.

I'm willing to give it up or else keep it. Unlike the XSL stuff, I
actually use docbook-xml.
But I'm always willing to hand off maintainership to people who have
more available time than I do.

Let me know if you have any packages ready for upload I can sponsor
for you, then.
