I definitely understand your concerns and agree completely with where
you're coming from.  I hadn't even thought about that, which was very
short-sighted of me.  I apologize; I'm still learning proper etiquette. :)

I've given this a _lot_ of thought over the course of the day while mulling
over whether I want to commit to this, including reaching out to a few
folks to make sure I know where I can turn for help if I get myself into a
bind I can't figure out (because I'll freely admit that I'm not a kFreeBSD
expert).

I realize you don't know me very well and that it would be preferable to
have the kFreeBSD porters on this directly, but I can commit to being on
the line for FTBFS and all the bug reports related to the kFreeBSD arches.
 What that means to me is that I will either figure out the solutions to
issues that arise myself or I will reach out to the right lists/people for
help so that we make sure kFreeBSD stays working longer-term.

So what that means to me right this second is that I need a second testing
machine for kfreebsd-i386, so I can verify that this works there too, and
that I need to run more tests on both architectures.

Does this sound like an acceptable path forward, at least for now?
(Assuming "for now" on the idea that perhaps we can eventually get the
package popular enough to garner the attention and added support of the
kFreeBSD porters officially.)
