Do you have a link to this discussion? > So, how can I get those fixes in? As Dalibor said, this kind of patches tend to be very invasive, and as a first contribution especially the entry barrier is quite high. You may have better luck in trying to merge them into a separate Project repository or start with a smaller set of changes. In the meantime perhaps I would suggest to get in touch with the distro-pkg-dev people since they may help you, even if this is not Linux specific.
