I'd very seriously consider any patch that, if I set "responsible" to
something like "xfree86", automatically forwards the PR on, possibly
with some preamble that says something like
This report has been forwarded by the FreeBSD Project, as it pertains
to a piece of software that we distribute, but do not maintain.
It is our policy to forward patch requests on to the original
developers, and re-integrate their changes in to our tree when they
are made, rather than make local patches to third party software.
Something like that, anyway.
