openssh unix dev - Jun 2001 - ServerSide ACLs for -L type port forwarding

I have a need to add some server-side ACL functionality to the way ssh
handles port forwarding.  For a first pass, I want to be able to
restrict -L port forwarding to localhost on the server only and I want
to be able to specify the ports on Server.

I was wondering if there would be any desire to incorporate said changes
back into the main development tree?  If so, are there coding guildlines
available somewere.

Thanks,
Reza

sshd(8)

     permitopen="host:port"
             Limit local ``ssh -L'' port forwarding such that it may
only con-
             nect to the specified host and port. Multiple permitopen options
             may be applied separated by commas. No pattern matching is per-
             formed on the specified hostnames, they must be literal domains
             or addresses.
