Hello,

We have several unresolved issues on liburing GitHub repo. Maybe they
can be the TODO list?

Most of them are kernel side issue, so they need to be resolved from
io_uring.

Link: https://github.com/axboe/liburing/issues

I would love to contribute too. But my experience in kernel space
programming is not yet ready for that. I can test the patches. I
can also integrate the feature with liburing, create regression test,
and some userspace stuff work.

Recently, I nudged this one:
  https://github.com/axboe/liburing/issues/397

The work is to add recvfrom() and sendto() operation. You can CC me if
you're willing to pick up this work. I can do the liburing part and
create the test.
