Maybe nork can step up to the plate?  The step from ports committer to 
core committer seems large, but maybe not as large as going from 
non-committer.

OTOH, I can (if necessary) come up with the steps necessary to commit 
this to -STABLE.  I personally do not see why such a minor change should 
cause such a big deal.  Add two files, apply extremely mionr changes to 
several others, done!
