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.
