Seems like that, or importing the FreeBSD one as uwe@ suggested, would be
a nice first project for a newly added developer, if only they would return
the forms ...

  | I mean select(2) and friends are in POSIX... :)

They weren't when script was created.   There was no POSIX back then, no
SUS either, select() had yet to be invented, this is one of the ancient ones
(and seemingly, not touched a lot, except to make it compile on modern
compilers, etc) since.
