Our TACACS+ server recently died and we are planning to replace it with your port of tac_plus, however it is missing a few features which we require, namely allowing different keys to be assigned per network rather than per individual hosts.  We are willing and capable of modifying the code to support the features we need, however to simplify maintenance in the future, we would like to contribute the patches back into your tree so we do not have to patch the source code in the future.

certainly; bonus points and quicker response if you keep the formatting
consistent and also update documentation :)
