Yes, you should work with the list and the owner/maintainer of the library, who appears to be Fernando Cacciola according to the doc.

I am no rvalue expert but you should either use Boost.Move or at least guard your code with the right #ifdef so that you're not breaking the library for everyone stuck with c++03.  Hopefully others more experienced can help you with that.
