Great!

Yes, that's what the handbook says, and I've been planning to
read-through that section for a while (and probably will this
weekend, now) and fix those little things.  :)  Use send-pr to
submit any-such feature-additions or bugfixes.  If you think it
worthwhile, you can also send a note to
freebsd-hackers/freebsd-committers pointing to the pr so that
(hopefully) it comes to someone's attention.

The reason for sending it via send-pr is that email to -hackers
will sometimes disappear.  If it is sent-pr, it will not
disappear, although it may languish for a while (do not
interepret any slowness in addressing it as ingratitude on
FreeBSD's part --- just part of the (unfortunate) nature of the
beast).
