So far, there haven't even been patches sent for modesetting; if
anyone cares about starting at the bottom, getting modesetting
working on, say, any recent AMD, Intel, or Nvidia card would be
a good place to start.

"the Plan 9 community" isn't big, and if you're waiting for
someone else to start working on it, you'll probably be waiting
a while.

Usually, things happen because someone gets enough working to
do a proof of concept, and then other people start contributing.
