I was under the impression that this patch was rejected, not abandoned,
but the archives are down at the moment so I can't check that.

Please continue sending them. Dave and Barry, the two maintainers, may
not be the fastest at getting patches in, but they do notice patches and
then get to them when they can. I've rarely seen a patch dropped,
although the delay can be significant.
Even if the patch is not applied the beauty of open source allows other
users to apply it locally as well.
