This is the sad truth and has been this way for years. We can and will
NMU packages which have obviously opposing maintainers, but this will
not be done until at least one or two neutral pings have been sent to
the bug report.
All Debian maintainers are volunteers and at this point, I don't think a
lot of them are actively hostile towards the hurd-i386 port, just not
jumping to apply patches and might need a bit of nudging.

JFTR, Kurt has been very supportive of the port and has e.g. analyzed
elfutils test-suite failures on hurd-i386 on our porter machine himself.
