Have checked the man pages for patch(1)?

That's the formal procedure; this is a small community so raising your
hopes is simply not worth it.  But the patches will be recorded and
may, when the time is ripe, become part of one or other distribution.
It's a fragmented small community and that is just sad.  It is not
likely that things will get better in the foreseeable future, so pick
your side :-)
