Hi, unfortunately, the answer is very simple: I simply don't have time right 
now. Right now I'm becoming a part of NetBSD and  there are several things I 
want to do there. I began the work at my studies, then as GSoC and I want to 
finish it.

It might be interesting to you, that it's a trial to introduce the translators 
concept to NetBSD and the final goal is to provide binary compatibility with 
GNUMach to be able to use the Hurd on top of the NetBSD kernel.
In case you want to ask the question "Why on a monolithic kernel?", the answer 
is that translators seem a cool thing even there.

Some things already work (but they're not yet integrated and stable), you can 
check the status on:
http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/hurdt/

Anyway, I use gentoo right now and I am planning to switch to NetBSD kernel. I 
don't have the time right now for any contribution for Gentoo on the Hurd but 
if it appears I will certainly try it and then would hope to get involved.

Regards
