Hi Nico,
OpenMPI looks quite a beast to maintain due to the sheer number of
patches. Updating the source package to the latest upstream version is
unlikely to be a walk in the park as a result.
I believe your best bet would be to kickstart this effort, ask the list
when you're stuck, and hope the maintainers eventually join you
on-board. I could personally find some time to help on a few things, but
would definitely not be able / willing to do this alone. That's probably
the case for other people too.
Cheers,
Ghis
