I believe I was in the audience for your FOSDEM talk on this matter. :-)

FWIW, in the last year, I've reviewed FreeBSD, OpenBSD (twice), NetBSD
and DragonflyBSD.

The Dragonfly team contacted me and owned the problems I had. They
don't test against VirtualBox.

For the others, various admirers complained in the comments, or by
email, or by social media, or combinations thereof, and nobody but
nobody went "oh, you're right, that _is_ a problem, we should look at
that."

There's an ongoing "spirited discussion" ;-) on Twitter right now with
me, Frank Leonhardt, and Eugene Markow.
