I have not tried to submit patches to move vboxvideo out of staging.
Partially due to lack of time, mostly lack of competence to
follow-up on the review comments I hope we will see.
I am perfectly happy to do trivial stuff, but when someone ask
to replace the use of ttm with shmem+gem (example - I do not
know if this is a relevant comment), then it is above
me for the moment.
And on top of this then I lack a good testing environment.

I could do it but then anything difficult would just be added
to a TODO file, and then I dunno how useful it is.
Something to consider when we are past the merge window anyway.
