[xml/sgml-pkgs] Stepping back from the Debian XML/SGML team, effectively orphaning all my packages (docbook*, xml-core, xmlto, etc. pp)

[Kristoffer Rose]

Dear Daniel and Osamu,

I have XML expertise, I am a DD, and I maintain nothing for now (only have
a few ITPs out).

Any chance you would be at DebCamp and could do a two day intense "catchup"
on the involved work?

Best,
  Kris <krisrose at debian.org>
