In fact there is already a pending contribution, see Ilya Kulakov's mail from April: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.devel/6710 The problem with integrating this contribution is that it needs more time than we have to test it for regressions with the zoo of (always slightly incompatible) python 2.x versions starting with 2.3. Breaking the "bread and butter" 2.5-2.7 is simply not an option, which is why we're hesitating until someone can do the re-validation.
