「… alternatively, the FreeBSD project gets a subproject going which brings in the WiFi drivers from OpenBSD twice a year or something.」
Smart thinking. +100 to reuse of code, collaboration, and the like.
You're not the first person to ask about OpenBSD. The brief answer, from <https://wiki.freebsd.org/WiFi/Iwlwifi#openbsd>:
「There were other people looking into this.
When I started there was limited support for various chipsets already supported by iwlwifi, … mangled so that comparing to the original code was no longer possible in an automated way … goals listed above … another driver to change and support (in addition to iwm).」

And here is a diff for testing with 9260 and 9560 #iwm devices: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=157391965606322&w=2
Receive performance is bad with this diff. But it's already better than nothing.

Well, hello there, #iwm 9k 
# ifconfig iwm0 scan | grep nwid | wc -l

In #openbsd -current the #iwm driver is now using the latest available firmware images for 7260, 7265, 3160, and 3165 devices.
Other iwm devices (8260, 8265) still require more changes to be committed first, which have already been posted to the tech@ mailing list.
Thanks to all who have helped with testing so far! I hope to get some additional test reports soon 
I have posted a first patch on the long road towards adding support for new Intel wifi devices to the #openbsd #iwm driver.
