Probably not the most rational approach. If none of the developers
responded it more likely means none of us are interested, which probably
means we're not to keen on the idea, which most likely means your patch
won't get integrated.

You pretty gave no explanation as to why catalogs would be a good thing
other than saying:

You should probably make an attempt to explain yourself a little more
clearly before potentially wasting your time.

For one, I don't really even know what catalogs are or how they are
used, or how they would be of benefit maven. The other thing is that if
catalog support is something only supported by things like xerces and
not simple parsers like the xpp3 parser then it's definitely not going
to survive into maven2.

Additionally the patch is certainly not going in before the 1.0 release.
