Would you be interested in hosting that in java.net? Perhaps very
closely with the JAXB 1.0 RI?

Cool!

Yes! What if we have it in http://jaxb-sources.dev.java.net/, alongside
the JAXB RI?

There are a few pieces here and there. For example, we already post
maven2 plugin JAXB2 to the java.net repository. But there are a lot of
things that can be improved.

I worked on the maven1 plugin for java.net in
http://maven-javanet-plugin.dev.java.net/, and I'm trying to do a
similar thing for maven2. If you are interested in helping that effort
too, that would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's already there. 1.0.6 is, at least.

If you are interested in the above-mentioned maven-javanet-plugin work,
please let me know and I'll show you aliases for that.
