You have to generate a patch for 8-current and send it to  
multimedia at FreeBSD.org for review. There may be some improvement  
suggestions or bug reports then. Fix the issues and generate a new  
patch. When there are no issues anymore, send a PR (problem report)  
with your patch. If you are lucky, a committer will take care of the  
PR (or he may already approach you before you send the PR).

Bye,
Alexander.
