Oh, great idea ! I could definitely make use of such a plugin :-)

If you have a github account, fork https://github.com/collectd/collectd,
commit your patch in a topic branch based on the master branch, and send a
pull request.

You can also just send your patch to the mailing-list using
git-format-patch and git-send-email.

Cheers,
Marc
