I personally gave up on trying to get stuff upstream. I just don't have enough 
time for that and to many bad experiences. If there is no way i can get it 
into a repository i control (have commit/push rights) i abstain from doing it 
in the first place.

But that is just me. I am willing to do the module. If someone else is willing 
trying to get it upstream feel free.
