As a competitor of them, I am very familiar with them and I can say they are pretty good at what they do and have great contributions to the Embedded Linux world. If they are interested in helping, it would be wise to send them a board.

I know of an advanced team working a lot on kernel improvements for ARM-based devices. That's Free Electrons, and they are in France. Looking at their blog http://free-electrons.com/blog/
they run http://lxr.free-electrons.com which is a really useful resource. I almost daily use it...
I suppose they may be interested in tinkering with Pyra prototype and submitting some patches, or at last following Pyra kernel development and reviewing patches and discussions.
I have once had email conversation with Michael Opdenacker (CTO), he appeared very kind and open-minded. But I wonder if they can afford such charity now.
That can indeed be a problem We face the situation that people with really good knowledge (e.g. notaz or the freelancers in my team) are dedicated to other tasks and jobs and therefore have no spare time for helping another project.
What I am proposing is to contact them and figure out how interested they are.
Other potential contacts:

PS: I have merged and configured your as5013 patches and it compiles. But I haven't tested anything (other tasks, see comment above :).
