I haven't read the Inetd enhancements proposal but, for what is worth,
I have already made significant modifications to NetBSD' inetd(8).
There are published in:

https://github.com/tlaronde/BeSiDe

(it's current NetBSD with incorporation of several modifications made
by me, including inetd(8)---and by side effect, mountd(8) that was
sharing code with inetd(8).)

I dare say that it will be more easy to add features to this version
instead of working with the current one.

But since I'm not directly concerned by the GSoC affair (neither by
NetBSD evolutions---I'm not a NetBSD developer), this is just to give
you a supplementary pointer to existing alternative code.
