[R-pkg-devel] new maintainer for CRAN package XML

[Uwe Ligges]

Dear package developers,

the CRAN team (and Professor Ripley in particular) has been the defacto 
maintainer of CRAN package 'XML'.
Our hope was that maintainers of packages depending on XML will migrate 
to other packages for reading XML structures. This has not happened and 
we still see dozens of strong dependencies on XML.

So we are looking for a person volunteering to take over 'XML'.
Please let us know if you are interested.

For the CRAN team,
Uwe Ligges
