If you don't get any, I suggest waiting a week or two for 2.2 to get
out of the door, then submitting it as a patch to sf.

In the mean time, you can make sure the code is pretty, easy to
maintain, well commented (if it isn't already) and test portability
(i.e get someone to test it on as many of 95/08/Me/NT/2000/XP as you
can); I'll predict for you now that these will be the major
objections.
