If you think that makes the most sense, sure.  I don't have a ton of pending
patches right now and some of the work I've done isn't quite suitable for 
upstreaming.  My current things I'd like to do are:

- the 'gcore' patch
- XSAVE/AVX support for FreeBSD/x86
- possible followup to the XSAVE patch to create a x86fbsd-nat.c similar
  to x86-linux-nat.c (need to see if the dbreg stuff in *bsd-nat.c are
  actually FreeBSD specific or if other BSD's do have the relevant
  ptrace ops

The other big thing I would eventually like to upstream is a new thread
target for FreeBSD that uses libthread_db and supports the thread libraries
used in modern FreeBSD versions.  Such a target exists now but has been
authored by several folks (and I'm not sure I can get them all to file FSF 
paperwork), so most likely this will require me to write a new thread target 
from scratch (and that would probably take me a while).
