I just cloned the xalan-j trunk, and there have been no active commits
to Xalan-J in the last 17 months.
So for all intents and purposes, I would suspect that none of the
existing PMC members for Xalan-J are actively involved. The problem
with Xalan and Xalan-J in general was the lack of project diversity, as
it was primarily staffed by IBM supplied committers, and once their
interests moved elsewhere development pretty much stopped on on Xalan-J
at least.
So I doubt there are 3 active members of the PMC to do anything.
Is there anything in the community by laws that allows nomination of new
PMC or committers if an existing set of PMC members goes inactive?

Ok - good too see that there's some activity.
I am unsure of what you need for the ASF board meeting...
....At present I am relying on the few remaining committers to apply
patches to the Xalan-C++ SVN repository....
What we need from the board's point of view is a PMC with at least 3
active members, so as to be able to vote on releases, and a responsive
PMC chair who communicates with the board according to the PMC report
schedule (usually every 3 months). The last board report we got from
Xalan was in November 2011 [1], and was rejected as insufficiently
detailed, so that needs to be fixed.
It also seems to me like there are no active moderators for the
priv...@xalan.apache.org mailing list, messages that we sent there
have not appeared in the archives.
Do you think the project can motivate existing PMC members to fill
these gaps? Or are there only committers remaining with no active PMC
members?
