[libvirt] libvirt-snmp status

Hi All,

I'd like to enquire about the status of libvirt-snmp. It hasn't had any
 commits for a couple of years and no longer compiles against recent
versions of net-snmp. As I understand it, upstream net-snmp deprecated
and then removed the C type "U64" as it conflicts with Perl.
Fortunately this is the only issue and the patch required to get
libvirt-snmp building again simply replaces the C type "U64" with the
type "struct counter64" in a few places. I tried to  submit a patch but
was unable to configure authentication/encryption correctly for git
send-email and I'm unwilling to spend more time on it. Is there any way
to accept patches directly from Github (or anywhere else I can push a
commit)?

My second enquiry relates to the org OID used in the LIBVIRT-MIB. It
currently uses a (presumably) placeholder of 12345. I check the OID
register[1] and found an entry for libvirt (see end of email). I am
guessing that registration didn't go through until after libvirt-snmp
maintenance stopped. I'd like to submit a patch to replace the
placeholder with this org id also.

BR,
Michael Corcoran
