Update dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer to Support .NET 9
(This is my first ever public issue, so please be gentle.)
I was trying to run a .NET 9 project that used dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer version 8.0.0-preview1.24067.4 and getting some errors due to .NET version mismatch:

I downloaded the source for WCF and was able to change the references in the .csproj and related files to .NET 9 (I had to update the .dotnet folder as well to use the appropriate version), and I got it to successfully compile, test, and package. I tested the package in a .NET 9 console app that consumed a WCF service and was able to use the new package to successfully generate the DLL:

The documentation states that any new features need to start with creating an issue. How can I submit a PR to get a new package created for .NET 9?
Will this library ever be updated? .net9 version is not available still
Someone just needs to publish the nuget package, which is still in pre-release and the last publish was almost two years ago. I think maybe no one is responsible for publishing this package or something. Its just lost to the void.
I got tired of waiting and downloaded the WCF source, built the serializer package, and uploaded it to a private nuget repository.
We were stuck on net 8 due to this package because we deal with a large WSDL file that takes over 1 minute to generate runtime serializers if we don't pre-generate them. We can't wait 1 minute for our apps to start up on multiple servers.
What I did
Build Service Model: eng\common\cibuild.cmd -preparemachine -configuration Release -projects System.ServiceModel.sln /p:Test=false /p:Sign=false
Build Tool: eng\common\cibuild.cmd -preparemachine -configuration Release -projects dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer.sln /p:Test=false /p:Sign=false
Upload nuget package to private nuget feed with powershell: PS .\nuget.exe push -source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/{redacted}/_packaging/Internal_Package_Feed/nuget/v3/index.json -ApiKey AZ C:\source-code\wcf\artifacts\packages\Release\NonShipping\dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer.8.0.0-ci.25568.1.nupkg
Using the nuget.exe Windows x86 Commandline binary: https://www.nuget.org/downloads
Hope this helps anyone else that comes across this. This tool does work with net 10.
Someone just needs to publish the nuget package
@huanwu @mconnew Would it be possible to publish a new version of the dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer NuGet package?
