The "someone on the list" would be me. I still care about v3 and Geode,
but my feature/bugfix request backlog is huge, and I can't start before
end of April at the earliest, so my best bet would be September before I
can tackle this. And even then, I probably won't have time to focus on
hardware I don't own.

Piotr, you said that the project is time critical. As I wrote above, my
help would come too late for you.
Maybe you can ask coresystems for an offer.
