The typical way of how such maintainer requests are solved is that
you'll have to find someone who is willing and able to work with you
on this topic, and who is willing to forward your patches to me or to
the other x86 maintainers (or any of the submaintainers we pull
from). It's not hard, we get and accept a lot of indirect patches.
Arguably i've already invested more time into this than i should
have, this direct approach clearly does not work and i cannot trust
you.
Thanks,
Ingo
