This all is part of a bigger strategy, we've already discussed here.

The whole idea is getting rid of individual patches, instead use a
modern VCS. If you don't like to take the METUX.* branches, I'll be
lucky to open (and even maintain) separate GENTOO.* branches.

Actually, I'm already doing so for quite some time now.
But often cannot/doesnt want to apply hotfixes ad-hoc. That's what
OSS-QM for: provide downstream branches for distros, embedded
maintainers, etc.
