The gaming/youtube video is an excellent use case on whim to build. Simple, compelling, and can easily demonstrate the bufferbloat problem.
One suggestion would be to talk to the people/web sites that publish reviews of router and gaming performance. There should be only one or two people there to convince regarding bufferbloat. If those people can be convinced and write about it then the gaming community at large will learn about it. With any luck, these reviews will also generate talk inside the router vendors as to how they perform and what they have to do to compete.
AnandTech or ArsTechnica might be a good place to start. They have pretty literate staff, and AnandTech even had access to an Ixia wifi tester at one point. http://www.anandtech.com/show/10081/wifi-testing-with-ixia-wavedevice
