Gary, did write few days ago on this list, replying to my original
proposal about this topic, that I shall be free to create such a
XalanJ branch.
After such a XalanJ branch is created, and when any code is committed
to that branch, any XalanJ committer as per apache's project
development process is free to veto any commit to be modified or
undone. All the commits to such XalanJ branch, shall be visible to all
XalanJ committers who've subscribed to commit mail list, and everybody
comes to know almost immediately that what has changed within codebase
and can question and veto any commits.
Also IMHO, all the apache committers always strive to write high
quality code, as per apache's guidelines.
