The way to make sure your patch doesn't just get lost in the mailing list
noise is to send a Problem Report (PR).  There's no guarantee that it will
be handled promptly, however, as we have a large backlog (more people
willing to report bugs than to do some of the dirty work :-/  Many of
the developers are already stretched thin.)

The documentation is available at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/.
If anything is unclear, you can email bugmeister@FreeBSD.org and we'll
try to clarify things.
