I don't have a lock, and I don't want one.  I do, however, 
make a part of my living using FreeBSD for floating point
intensive research.  I think that changes, including the
addition of new functions, to libm should be reviewed and
preferably tested.  Grabbing code from OpenBSD (or anywhere),
getting it to compile and integrated into the build
infrastructure does not constitute a code review. There is
a mailing list dedicated to numerics (aka floating point) on
FreeBSD: freebsd-numerics_at_freebsd.org.
