Well, there are probably at least 3 people who could do this, Martin Renters, Poul-Henning Kamp and Garrett Wollman being names which most quickly come to mind, but whether or not one of them actually finds the time or inclination to do this after reading your posting to -hackers is another thing. To far better your odds, I'd suggest culling out the changes from NetBSD and submitting them as context diffs relative to the appropriate files in FreeBSD-current. You can submit them with send-pr (most recommended) or you can send them in an email to committers@freebsd.org and plead for a reviewer. :-) Jordan
