Keep on your mind that I am working towards ASL for 2+ years now, albeit
not at priority. What remains are the "hard commits", some of them deeply
hidden in sysklog history (15 to 25 years old). Many authors have already
been contacted and most agreed, some no longer reachable. I even rewrote
quite a bit of code. I recently had to reject an IBM submission because it
was under GPL and they had no approval to submit the contribution under
ASL, so it's definitely a hassle and the 2 to 3 month are what I really
think it takes.
