As for maintaining local patches, he's not the only one doing that,

We've made a concerted effort to supply all patches back, yet we always
find that we maintain a few local patches. We don't want to, but there
are various bits that we just never successfully pushed back for one
reason or another, e.g.:
* mod_authn_alias.dep/.dsp/.mak: changes for building on Windows
o Not sure why [as I'm no longer doing these builds myself]
could be to allow us to build with an older MS studio
* mod_deflate.c: added support for a response header which will
allow responses (e.g. from Tomcat) to dynamically opt out of
compression
o code was suggested on the Apache lists, but uninteresting to
Apache trunk apparently
* util_ldap*.c: still changing '#if APR_HAS_SHARED_MEMORY' to '#if
0' as last we checked the shared memory stuff was still unstable
with the worker MPM -- at least on Solaris and AIX
