If the bhyve community can *permanently* provide reviews / regression-testing for such OVMF contributors that never use bhyve, that would significantly increase the stability of bhyve firmware code, and it would outweigh bhyve's user base (likely) being smaller. Xen regressions were also reduced when the Xen community finally delegated designated reviewers to edk2. Reviewing and testing patches you don't really care for, but see as possibly regressive for the platform you do care about, is a *lot* of work. So I guess it could boil down to how much work your platform's user base can contribute to the edk2 project.
I certainly can't commit to reviewing and manually regression-testing all applicable OVMF patches, since I'm doing this on a volunteer basis and I know there will be days/weeks when my attention shifts elsewhere.
The best I could do is provide semi-regular testing and integration perhaps every month, and make available a permanent FreeBSD machine that any contributors/maintainers could remote into in order to do their own testing - in addition to providing integration into the CI system once .NET and Azure Agent support has been fixed on FreeBSD.
