Description
Have you considered migrating the source repository to Git?
Among other advantages, this may facilitate the external contributions (e.g. via GitHub).
I made some searches to check if this topic has already been discussed, but didn't find anything. Sorry in advance if I missed something.

I add a couple of motivations for the possible migration to github:
Number of users:
codehaus: 10600 users
github: 3.4 million users
=> contributions would be more likely to happen
There are already at least a couple of forks of xStream on GitHub:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/xstream
https://github.com/hudson/xstream
=> merging from xStream to one of these patched versions (and eventually the other direction) would be much easier
