Fork or separate library, let them go ahead with it :)

It would be nice if the PortabilityKit team finished some of the classes
that are semi-portable between GNUstep and Cocoa (such as the
NSDocument architecture, for example). 
Do the PortabilityKit team plan to submit fixes for classes already in
GNUstep?

poorly-designed / unfinished classes (like NSToolBar and NSDrawer)
and let the PortabilityKit team implement them.
