My 2-3 month estimate was based on 1 month for the DAT Collaborative 
to discuss and vote on licensing the code under the GPL and 1-2 months 
to port and test on OpenIB Gen 2.

We are proposing to maintain the code in both locations. The OpenIB 
specific implementation would be on openib.org while a 
platform/transport independent implementation would continue on 
our SourceForge site.
