The architecture requalification page for bookworm currently lists a single porter for i386[1]. Maybe contact him directly? It might also be a good idea for people interested in the i386 port to setup a port-specific mailing list. Or for such people to decide what the goal of the i386 port is: run current software on ancient hardware or support running old software (e.g., games) on current hardware. The former would not allow baseline changes, while the latter would allow, for example, using SSE without fallback (which as far as I understand some software already does on i386 or would like to do) or dropping support for AMD Geode processors.
