I propose 2 alternatives:
1. Give me the URK to checkout the 4.3 branch and, when there's a 
change, simply notify me by mail (or notify here). I'll work then with 
svn diff to patch.
2. I go on trunk, and you apply changes there in 4.3 release. But I'm 
not sure it's possible given the dev process of vbox.

Hence: I propose the 1st alternative.

Sincerely,
