Is there some particular reason you can't work on NetBSD?

We make our current, active source tree publicly available (updated on
the FTP sites (almost) every night), as well as the CVS equivalent of
a `change log'.  Anyone can pick up the code and work on it.  They can
send us diffs or entirely new code.  They can ask us questions.  Etc.
They can even start a new distribution of their own if they see fit.

So, what's your point?
