Yes, it is - HP upstream is unresponsive in most bugfix cases.

Unfortunately, there isn't. HP's vision of open source is releasing
source tarball, not sharing any github/CVS repo for hplip.

My predecessors - twaugh and jpopelka - started a github repo for hplip
to track at least changes between releases, and I keep it up to date -
https://github.com/zdohnal/hplip .

There were considerations whether to fork the project, merge the patches
and have it like that, but it would cut us off from new drivers, which
come from HP, because they have access to HW.
