What about sending the patch to the right place? ie:
bugs.freedesktop.org

BTW you should change the .ps.pdf of your patch by .pdf.gz

Adding what to what ? You are blaming different GNOME people to not fix
freedesktop bugs? That would be like blaming a Debian maintainer to not
fix fedora packages...

They made the comments quite clear. The correct way to work is to define
a mimetype for the format, ie: change the freedesktop shared-mime-info
file. Then open a bug on evince to list this mimetype. Maybe you don't
get that freedesktop != GNOME? 

Sure they could do the submitter job and open a bug on fd.o but they are
quite busy and the bug comments was clear. 

Note that I quite agree with them, compressing the .pdf files is Debian
specific, not really useful and probably a dh_compress bug which should
ignore them.
