People have jumped off buildings for less than that! I expect it's about a dozen man-hours of work, or so, if there's a group of people working on the problem. If left to the individual maintainers to solve, it will take a lot longer in wall clock time, and we'll probably end up with a bunch of incorrect fixes. It should be no trouble at all to find volunteer port committers to help with the task.
