I think the interest expressed here was more "hey, cool" rather than "we 
need this for Bugzilla". Of course, a free software release would be 
great too.

Code thrown over the wall is still better than no code at all. Perhaps 
you might consider posting a giant diff of your code compared to 2.22, 
as well as pursuing a parallel strategy of submitting small, clean 
patches against the trunk?
