I already let James have fam. I suppose he should take imon as well, although fam doesn't strictly need it. James, if you don't, let me know so I can retitle that bug into RFP. One thing about the mentioned patch: Debian is more than just Linux. There's a Hurd port as well, and people are actively working on an attempt to start a BSD port. If that patch is too Linux-centric, it may not be possible to use. Perhaps patching at compile time would be an option...
