Sorry, but I can't do this.  This is unlikely to change anytime soon.

But, if someone seeks to put forth a serious effort around a CSM (or
most anything UEFI or edk2 related), then they ought to be able to
expect support from our tianocore community (which includes me).

If our tianocore community had an open source CSM available, I should
be able to include it in OVMF.  A BSD licensed CSM would be much
easier for OVMF to integrate directly, but any open-source CSM would
allow for the possibility of an OVMF fork with the CSM included.
