I'm currently working on some bug fixes for Vala which I'll need for one
of my Vala-based projects. I don't have much time to work on larger
features right now as I'm in an internship until March, 16. Afterwards I
should be able to spend a lot more time on Vala again.

The GLib VAPI is handwritten, not generated by vapigen, as it's not
GObject-based; so normal patches are fine and welcome. Have you already
prepared patches for these functions or should I add them myself?
