You should use users@ for most messages, dev@ is basically only used
for issue tracker updates etc, no discussion really happens there so
messages to it are actually more likely to be overlooked.

Use private@ for JIRA account requests as directed.

As to the original ask, you can certainly raise a PR at
https://github.com/apache/qpid-cpp but note traction is likely to be
low, qpid-cpp is essentially stagnant at this point as the commit
history shows. C++ client wise specifically, attention shifted away
from Qpid::Messaging C++ to the Qpid Proton C++ binding many years
ago.
