The problem is time and man power. And as I said earlier I only have the time to fix the
packages with the latest version. The best solution I can think of is, that you apply
for write access. So you have to write an email to the dev list with pointers
to your patches and ask for write access. If 3 devs or 2 from core(steering comitee now?) 
give there ack you have to send your ssh-key to the admins.
