Would it be reasonable to change Schematron into a real open source
project supported by several contributors (hosted on sourceforge, for
example)?
Unfortunately I don't have any experience with that.

Schematron is very fine - but sometimes limited. So I add things myself
and write proprietary Schematron preprocessors (using an extended
Schematron language). Other users might do similary things ...

I think a little effort to concentrate the Schematron activities makes
a lot of sense.

Best regards,
Oliver
