How would I know which package (and which project) a file
(a driver in this case) belongs to ?

I posted it here, because this is where Reginald Beardsley asked
in the first place (the patch does not precisely address his
case, but it might be similar).

I recently posted a patch on https://www.illumos.org/issues
(#10319) for an issue detected by valgrind, but did not get any
feedback...

Is there some dedicated channel to collect proposed patches,
with somebody forwarding to proper destination ?
