My understanding of the workings of the FreeBSD project is that no one
holds responsibility for any given part of the source tree. I do a fair
amount of work (all volunteer for $0.00) on the NFS parts, but others do
good work on this part of the source tree as well. The GASSAPI/Kerberos
code in the kernel RPC is largely tangential to the NFS code, although
the NFS code makes use of it.

I am not aware of anyone currently doing work on the Heimdal/Kerberos
code, but if I'm wrong on this, hopefully someone will correct me.

If you have the time/expertise to come up with good patches for the
code and are willing to donate these to the project, I'd suggest you
either post the patches or attach them to a bug report.

Please remember that almost all work on FreeBSD is done by volunteers
in their spare time, rick.
