Anyone can forward patches upstream. There are a reasonable amount of
people who can integrate them. Once libX11 is merged with the monolithic
tree[0], I'm going to be throwing the xlibs tree open to features again,

[0]: Changes made since it was branched off the monolithic tree back in
November or something and X11R6.7.
