I certainly can't commit to reviewing and manually regression-testing 
all applicable OVMF patches, since I'm doing this on a volunteer basis 
and I know there will be days/weeks when my attention shifts elsewhere.

The best I could do is provide semi-regular testing and integration 
perhaps every month, and make available a permanent FreeBSD machine that 
any contributors/maintainers could remote into in order to do their own 
testing - in addition to providing integration into the CI system once 
.NET and Azure Agent support has been fixed on FreeBSD.
