This obviously gets done some. I remember this happening for the pine
port and a few others (asapm, xosview, etc). Back when I had time to
maintain the AfterStep port I was stuffing back the patches to the
development team, which they appreciated. When the first AS-devel port
came out I had 5 or 6 patches in there and now there are none (admittedly
the distribution has changed as they don't include all of the AS apps
anymore but...).
It's definitely the way to go.
