I have already wrote one (semi-extensive) patch for Serialization (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/208082) which has been signed off on by Ramey but has still not been applied because my requests for SVN access have gone unanswered. So, before I do any work on fixing this I would like some assurance that the time and effort I invest will not go to waste.
Bryce has re-implemented the xml_loader in terms of the the current version of spirit. This is something that people have asked for and he has stepped up and done it. He has coordinated with me and has run all the serialization tests with his new code on his own machine. I've endorsed trunk access privileges for him (weeks ago) but as far as I know nothing has happened. I would have hoped to see his code tested in the test matrix by now.
What's wrong with applying a patch yourself? Also, it is my experience that boost-owner@lists.boost.org is pretty quick at giving SVN access. - Volodya
