Hello,

Great that you will take care of those PR, a lot of people want it a long
time ago.

By the way, a long time ago, I tried to create a new entry called as
"modip" and there would concentrated everything related with QoS. Something
such like the examples below:
*ipfw add 10 modip tos:lowdelay ip from any to any
ipfw add 11 modip dscp:af14 ip from any to any
*
*ipfw add 12 modip ippre:flash ip from any to any*

Also, there are some discussion around "modip" you can google it.
Here is some patches, also the modip implementation:
