I suspect there will always be some people who want to write or change
code purely for their own purposes, and that's okay.  But I think
you're talking about a case where you see a need for an improvement
that will benefit all users of OpenSolaris.

You could post to the OpenSolaris fora that seem appropriate.  Or, you
could post a project proposal.  The project proposal may get more
attention, so you might try that if the first approach doesn't work.
There's some material and links at
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/projects/ that might help with this.
