Yeah, I realized I was top-posting after my last email. Mea culpa. Yaakov already posted the announce list re: libevent. I'll work on packaging and sending the ITP for tmux soon and relieve Yaakov of having to maintain libevent, even with Warren's warning in mind. This is all a little bit of unfamiliarity all at once, but I think I'll manage. Might as well throw myself to the wolves for the learning experience. Thanks all.
