To make my position clear, I don't accept any patch for libffi which 
does not belong to the testsuite. Unless I'm told to by a Port 
Maintainer or another Maintainer with more overview :)

About the assignments, huh, I know that I have one for FSF and I'm going 
to sign the libffi soon. (snail mail)

Just my two cents.
