I'm all for it!

As well: I'm all for it! In the last few years, only minimal
maintenance happened for the VAX backend. Neither Matt nor myself (not
being a maintainer for VAX, but I care about this!) did do a lot.
Would be great to have another port maintainer and I'm especially
happy that you'd consider working on the VAX code in your sponsor
project's time.

Thanks,
