If you're willing, the latter would be better, IMO.  Best would be
publish a git branch and give a week or two for people to test.
My reasoning is that otherwise, we'll just end up with yet another
partial conversion.  If some port goes untested, and the patch
breaks something in the testsuite for that port, then whoever cares for
the platform should notice it when she next runs tests on the platform.
If nobody cares for the platform, and doesn't run tests, well, then
it's okay to break it, as nobody cares...
