We "ingest" the libevent releases from their distribution. Frankly, I am really loath to modify it as they become resistant to helping us with problems if we do, and the event lib is deeply embedded in our code.
Would you please take the libevent modifications to them? Nick et al are very open to contributions. As for the "unused" params - I suspect you will find they are present due to compatibility with other event_add calls so they can all be called from within the same code without additional if-else switching.
