Surely some official release is the best option.

This somehow sounds like a good option. Given that the author
considered a release "soon" it might have some "nearly ready" state and
will save us the work from cherry picking single patches. Uploading the
current status of upstream Git to experimental might be some sensible
intermediate step. Just let me know if you manage to do this or if I
should step in.

Definitely.
