I'd love you to do it.  In fact, I already assigned it to you :)

https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/VIRTIO-21

Here's the process I've imagined:

1) Create / Assign issue if there isn't one:
        https://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/VIRTIO

2) Post patch to mailing list.

3) Once there's agreement and you want the patch applied, mark the 
   issue OPEN with the URL of final patch (eg. mailing list URL).

4) Next meeting we go through OPEN and decide what we can apply, what
   needs deferring, etc.

Cheers,
Rusty.
PS.  If other people want to take over jobs on that list, please do!
