I am sorry to say that so far I have received no response.

Ok, So I will leave it at that in the hopes that it won't stop anybody from
sponsoring the package.

Nobody else stood up, so I'm pinging you again! :-). I am still looking for a
sponsor of the package. For easy reference, here is the git-repo:
https://git.fsinf.at/apt/php-xml-beautifier
... here is the package on mentors:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/php-xml-beautifier
and you can check it out with this command:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/php-xml-
beautifier/php-xml-beautifier_1.2.2-1.dsc
greetings, Mati
