Thanks for the patch, but this sort of thing has to go upstream first.
The reason for this is: what if upstream decided to integrate some other
change that added a -m option with different semantics?  Then I, and
Debian users, would be in a sticky situation with no clear way out.

I have no particular objection to the patch, but there's no point
continuing to promote it on this bug report.
