Looking a bit deeper, I decided to go with this list:

Create, delete, attach, and detach volumes.
Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
Create a volume from a snapshot.
Copy an image to a volume.
Copy a volume to an image.
Clone a volume.
Extend a volume.
Get volume statistics.
...

A first patch is here:
https://review.openstack.org/121366

Please tell me whether I should continue this way, I've marked the
patch as WIP for now to get your input,

Andreas
