Perhaps you should try the freebsd-hackers list... this list is
generally for user operational questions.

Ouch! ...you are not trying to sell anything are you? It may be in
your best interest if you proceed to the hackers list, to initiate
conversation in a way that explains how your code will benefit a
cause, not slam other people (and their work) that are already
established!
