Hi,

  just to clarify this a bit, we absolutely value the patches submitted
and any other types of community contributions, however we can't
guarantee any timely acceptance even though we try hard. JAXB RI is part
of Java SE, Java EE, open source application servers, other reference
implementations, ... so it's crucial we maintain high level of
compatibility and specification conformance, which slows down the review
process.

  Iaroslav mentioned few ways for you to go on in the meantime. JAXB RI
is an open source project - recently we migrated the sources to git, and
also started syncing them with Github for exact reason to be more open,
more accessible and allow contributions to be submitted more easily. So
you are able to maintain your personal fork while in the process e.g.

  One other option I should probably mention for completeness, too, is
if you use JAXB within any supported product, then I'd recommend to
contact your sales representative and discuss potential support request.
