Why aren't these features merged into base patchwork yet?

How hard can it be to use your patchwork version for another project?
I'm participating in CRIU[1] project and we would love to try your 
patchwork mod.

Corner cases are fine, I tried writing my own tool for mailing list 
patch tester some
time ago and also did run into a number of corner cases and eventually 
decided to
disable it to find a better solution.
