It's still ongoing; there's a project page (of sorts) at
http://www.FreeBSD.org/projects/gnats4/ which gives details on where
we're stalled at the moment (although I have remembered some updates
that need making to the plan).

I'd certainly be interested in looking at it.  At the moment my plan to
upgrade is entirely {hub,www,freefall}.FreeBSD.org based - there seems
to be no pressing need to upgrade the distributed send-pr, so I'd target
the in-tree send-pr.  If it should turn out that a client-side upgrade
is worth the effort then we can bring the patches forward (I had to do
the same for our local edit-pr hacks).

Sounds like something that would be widely appreciated.

Thanks,
