If you don't have much time to work on it then lets get it pushed to
the github community repos where we can have everyone else submit
patches.  We have #etnaviv where we can coordinate efforts.  Even if
something is on a todo list lets get it out where we someone else can
work on it.  I think our community is strong enough that we can all
make progress without stepping on each others feet.
