If you don't mind, I'd like to review your changes first. You're new here, after all. If there are things that don't quite fit with how we want to execute the port it would be easier to catch them before rather than after changes are committed to the tree.
After review I'll be more than willing to give you commit access to pieces you're working on.
How does that sound? If you're agreeable could you make a tarball available for me to look at? I can ftp it from your server if you have one, or you can e-mail it to me if you'd prefer.
