One concern is, this plugin depends on Python currently. I assume we can use
Python in most build environment, but please advise if there is a more portable
and not-so-hard way to validate XML.

Relying on python is problematic. If you stick with it, you'll need to detect
and gracefully degrade when the version you need isn't present.
If we're just checking well-formed-ness, how about using xmllint?
> test-patch.sh should have an xml plugin
