Every FreeBSD committer should expect to get a mail with some questions, so mailing to mux@FreeBSD.org is not forbidden. :-) But he's not "the USB guy in the block". He just tries to port the uhidev code (maybe because he needs it). So don't expect an answer to every question. Unfortunately we don't have an active USB guru around, except Hans-Petter Selasky (not a FreeBSD committer), but he develops a rewritten-from-scratch USB stack. So don't expect him to be able to answer questions reagarding the USB stack in -current. So far HPS wasn't able to convince a committer to import his work. Partly because we think that a USB stack which is shared between the BSD's may be better, partly because the existing stack seems to work good enough for those committers which may be willing to import the new one or be able to mentor HPS.
