See section 1.3 on the wiki page:

Feel free to comment here on the list.

General comments on the WRT code:
 - There's some code bloat that enables the inclusion of code in other OS's
  this should probably be removed.
 - We should probably make some abstraction/API of the so called Silicon
  Backplane bus that broadcom defined. I see allot of drivers, even in
  the mainline kernel (b44 ethernet driver) that use this.

Yes! Do you have any objection to make these publicly available?

Again yes, it should be possible to get this train rolling with some colaborative effort.
