I'm not aware of anybody actually working on porting Minix to seL4,
but I am working on my own OS <https://gitlab.com/uxrt/> that is sort
of similar in concept in that it is a multi-server Unix-like system,
although it will look more like QNX than Minix. The reason I didn't
port Minix was because I want to make a system that is more
progressive (many legacy Unix features will be reimplemented on top of
more general APIs or occasionally discarded outright), whereas Minix
is more like a direct reimplementation of conventional Unix as a
multi-server OS.

Currently I am just finishing up the memory allocation subsystem (I
just finished the heap allocator and all that remains is to add a slab
wrapper on top of the existing UTSpace allocator and tie up a few
loose ends related to documentation and warnings), and up next are
mutexes and the IPC transport layer.
