No, I just forgot to upload it :)

None.

Well, sort of.  The person who has hir name in the most recent
debian/changelog entry is the one who will end up in the Changed-By
field in the .changes file.  I added your name to the Uploaders field
in xerces25 and libxml-xerces-perl, and that appears to have worked.

The issue with the invalid Maintainer field will just have the effect
that katie still thinks that I am the maintainer of xerces23, instead
of the -pkgs list.  Since I was the previous maintainer, and your name
was not in the Uploaders list for xerces23, katie considered it an
NMU, and didn't change the maintainers-index.  Bugreports will still
go to my address instead of the list, so to complete the transition, I
(or someone else) will have to re-upload a corrected version of
xerces23.

If I am mistaken somewhere, please correct me. :)
