Clearly somebody needs to commit the driver.  By definition that's a
committer :-)

I suppose there should be a process for that, but I can't find it in
the documentation either.  Basically you need to find a committer and
persuade him to do the commit, or put in a PR with information about
the driver.  Experience shows that the former method is more reliable.

That information will be on http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html
when it comes up.

Send me private mail with more information, in particular what the
driver does, and I'll see who's most appropriate.
