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.
