libxml2 Maintainer Steps Down

Nick Wellnhofer, the maintainer of libxml2, announced his resignation, leaving the project largely unmaintained. He will address regressions in the 2.15 release until the end of 2025. The news prompted widespread appreciation and concern from the community. Many developers expressed gratitude for the long-term maintenance of libxml2, and one offered to take over maintenance, albeit with some technical questions requiring clarification from the former maintainer.
