Send the code to hackers@ for review.  Once it has appropriate review send a
PR (http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html).

By virtue of committing having push access, yes. :)

Prod the relevant mailing lists.  Try to avoid private mail as things
tend to get lost and forgotten.

Not for a long time.  The next 8.x and 9.x release aren't done yet,
and a schedule for 10.x hasn't been released yet.

New code gets settled in HEAD first anyways.

I hope this helped, feel free to reply if you have any other questions.
