Here's a conversation from me and @Paradoxxx via PM.
I thought it will be interesting to share with the world what I said.

There's a development thread going on here but you're probably aware of that :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...pment-t3153982
They seem to be struggling hard there, and I was wondering if you intended to work on it on the future or not.
You seems to be quie familiar with everything related to this device, and probably more aware on how to port things over compared to them...
//====================================
Second thing is regarding your kernel and therefore AndreiLux's.
He has a lot of controls regarding voltages/audio boost and such, ever though about porting these features over?
Have a nice day,

S6 has no future for CyanogenMod.
I mean it.
No future at all.
I can personally guarantee you that it'll take more than 2 years to make it a suitable daily driver without compromising battery life(mostly due to unusable, faulty GPU implementation).
I'm a hardcore CM-lover.
I loved CM even before I purchased my first Android phone,
I flashed CM even without turning on stock ROM on my first Android phone,
I ported CM even without turning on stock ROM on my second Android phone(that's Galaxy S4 LTE-A which has no CM progress, so I ported myself).
Here's the problem.
- Exynos 5433 CyanogenMod is not compatible. Duh, we're 64-bit and Samsung haven't sat around eating donuts and didn't change anything.
- Exynos 7420 sources are not even out. Development boards from Insignal, ODROID are the starting point of AOSP port to Exynos devices. We can't even start yet.
- Famous, skilled Exynos developers all left. You may know this better than me.
- Let's say we boot up. Camera, NFC, radio, GPU will be a major headache. Camera quality will be very poor, doubtful if NFC will be ever fixable, and radio. That radio. It took 2 years to track down battery drain due to radio on i9300's CyanogenMod. It also took 2 years to fully fix GPU to usable hwcomposer on i9300.
So I purchased Galaxy S6 with the assumption that "I won't be using CyanogenMod on this phone. Ever".
And thus I call "CyanogenMod on Galaxy S6" - obsolete.
I had, and have rather pour my time and resources into making something actually useful, which is a fancy kernel, optimized Touchwiz-based ROM(which is actually quite proud, even for myself) and help porting Xposed on the S6, which has thankfully done by now.
