With the recent push from OpenBSD to open firmwares to redistribution as well as obtaining new documentation for several wireless chipsets it would seem OpenBSD is pushing for other areas to open up as well.

You may not have even noticed it but your little tool is restricted so it cannot be redistributed and is only available as a binary. This goes completely against what OpenBSD looking for, therefore your tool was not a valid option.
OpenBSD is looking to make their own that they can redistribute freely under the terms of the ISCL (the two term BSD). They don't need the code, just the documentation to make it themselves.
And this tool of yours, it isn't actually that widely known in the OpenBSD community, I didn't know and I consider myself part of it. Perhaps it is known in the FreeBSD community, to which you were a part.
Re: d0h @ Nate:
I was emphasising that you get no help, not just "official" help, they will ignore you unless feeling extremely nice.
