If you want to port any of these, file patches in the -[Alioth patch tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?atid=410472&group_id=30628&func=browse) - for review. It might be a good idea to record your intention -to port something in the [Alioth task tracker](http://alioth.debian.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=34&group_id=30628&func=browse) so other people do not do duplicated work.
