Oops. I misread Luca’s reply as willingness to accept a patch, but he said to submit one upstream - where they explicitly don’t want it. So, yeah, deadlock.

Oops. I misread Luca’s reply as willingness to accept a patch, but he said to submit one upstream - where they explicitly don’t want it. So, yeah, deadlock. Has anyone pushed on this issue? If a patch exists and upstream explicitly says it belongs in the distro, then I expect an explanation from the maintainer(s) would need to be presented to detail exactly why it’s either unsuitable/unmaintainable or left better as-is.
