If working on that do not hesitate to push the changes you do propose in phabricator: https://reviews.freebsd.org and add me as a reviewer https://wiki.freebsd.org/CodeReview might be useful to determine how to simply use phabricator. Do not hesitate to mail me if you need any help in that area. Best regards, Bapt
