It's not surprising you've receive no reply from -core, as it's not a
body intended to review code.  Please post your patches to -arch.

The Committers Guide clearly states "All commits should go to
FreeBSD-CURRENT before being merged to FreeBSD-STABLE.  No major new
features or high-risk modifications should be made to the
FreeBSD-STABLE branch."
