This is mine and it shouldn't bounce. Hmm. I'll look into it.

The current issue tracker is Github. Is this search not sufficient?

Just so we talk about the same...
Web: https://luakit.github.io (or luakit.org)
Source: https://github.com/luakit/luakit

The update to the latest Version (2.1) has not yet been committed:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233711

There was mailing list / google group in the past, but has been 
discontinued in favor of IRC and the Github issue tracker.

Put it into the .xinitrc before luakit.

Using snapshots was not a good idea in the state the software was/is. 
Due to active developments, lot of incompatible changes where made which 
broke the configuration. I don't want to push anything to FreeBSD which 
breaks configuration without having documentation ready about how to fix 
it.

However, building the latest version from source or doing a small change
in the port to target a snapshot is not a big undertaking.

Luakit right now is not doing anything with the cursor. What you can
do is to either set the cursor with Xorg tools before starting luakit
or you can open a feature request on Github and describe the desired
behavior. Luakit could probably set the arrow cursor and maybe a hand
over links like firefox does.

I won't patch features into the port, so the request should go to 
upstream luakit.

Stefan
