Unfortunately, Stephen is right (not that he needed me to say so).

You could very well run into a situation where someone thinks "Hey, I  
submitted 12 bugs and my name wasn't picked but some guy who won a  
lottery got picked?! Forget this, I'm gonna go over to Linux/BSD  
development!".

Not worth it.

Someone else had mentioned using code from ZFS instead. Just make  
sure it doesn't have so many sleep() calls like the current code does  
though.
