Adding an AMT Module

Hello! I have been writing a module for VLC and would like to know if there is interest in it being added to the official version. I am writing an AMT - Automatic Multicast Tunneling - module, which is from RFC 7450. While VLC already supports multicast streaming, it does so only in multicast enabled networks. This module would allow connecting a PC in a unicast-only network to a multicast network, provided other requirements are met! That is oversimplifying things a lot, but if anyone is interested in helping me out or even just making sure I am following VLC standards that would be appreciated.

Btw, terrible newbie question, but should I post specific questions to the vlc-devel mailing list, or find a forum? I thought I saw a VLC 3.0 forum somewhere, but cannot find it now...
I am having issues with some of the demuxing, but am still digging through forums/wiki atm.

I would say IRC is the best. Then vlc-devel, then the libvlc subforum.
