IIUC, that means that we should remove XMLBeans from Attic and switch its
ownership to POI?

  I don't think that's right ; PCM XMLBeans is retired ;
  that PMC can be revived (within the ASF, with board approval) by
  -- reviving the PMC - unlikely given that the PMC died 5 years ago
  -- make a restart in the incubator.

  I do think that
  -- poi can fork the code and devellop it as a sub-project
  -- we can add a reference on the XMLBeans attic page to the new fork

That would be my thinking as well. Development shouldn't be happening in
an attic project. If the board has approved "un-retiring", then we
should move it first before allowing commits.

  As far as I know, commits should be impossible ;
  that is, the codebase should be frozen.
  Isn't that what 2.6.ii does in http://attic.apache.org/process.html ?

  Does anyone know a PCM (except incubator and, in some sense
  attic) that manages more than 1 project ?

then for example remove the banner on http://xmlbeans.apache.org/?

I wonder if it wouldn't make sense to put it somewhere under
poi.apache.org unless there's a new xmlbeans pmc being put in place?
