No problem with any of these things at all. I can indeed act as
mantainer of the port, shouldn't be a lot of work I think.

Although I have some idea on how I will create patches, I still have
some questions. Do you guys have some docs and guidelines on how
patches for new targets should look like? Any preferences or
guidelines to make reviews easy for you? Perhaps there's some
canonical examples you can point me to?

Thanks again, and sorry for the late response :)
