this is clearly how FreeBSD has become what it is

the "canonical" answer is to have a look at the open Problem Report
database (PR database), which you can find at
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr-summary.cgi> - the list is quite
long)
(and perhaps get in touch with one of the committers of FreeBSD)

then, find a PR with a title you like, and investigate (and then have a
solution, as a patch to a version of FreeBSD).
the preferred way to submit patches is toward the -Current version of
FreeBSD, but this version can be tricky to even use, so a patch toward
the -Stable version is also very valuable.

        Happy hacking
