In my experience volunteer efforts and timetables don't go together very
well.  So I would be surprised if anyone is able to give you a firm date.

I do see that some preliminary work has been done though, so it looks hopeful.
However, the only way to guarantee a date is to either contribute some of
the porting work yourselves or fund it.
