The general workflow is that people present patches in the way the Proxmox
staff want it, as outlined in the development guidelines in [1].
You cannot legally just pull in stuff from other people, therefore the
development guideline exist and you have to follow their protocol.

If I remember correctly, the problem with the ZFS-over-iSCSI stuff is that
the backend provider in FreeNAS/FreeBSD has changed numerous times and at
least one version did not support online reconfiguration. That may be
solved right now, but I haven't look at the plugin for a long time. It just
works for Debian as Mario (@fireon) described in [2].

Hopefully, we'll see the storage plugin framework happening in the future,
so that only additive changes are required in order to support new plugins.
This would hugely improve third-party-support and solve the problem of
integrating yet another Storage-Plugin.
