We would most likely welcome patches. I think there was a proposal a long time ago, but it was complete enough. Packaging toybox is not that simple. Of course, building it is easy. But then like Busybox, it provides replacements/alternatives to a lot of tools, and we have special handling in a number of packages for this. Would need to see how that would work with Toybox. So, yes, feasible, but not necessarily as trivial to do as it might initially look like.
