These changes are on my list of things I want to get into stable. I'm just slow. > I read the GitDevelopers page, but is it ok for anyone to push patches to Gerrit for an upcoming stable, or is there some additional review process? In principle it's ok, provided that those patches are clean cherry-picks from master. In practice, it causes extra work if a change pulled up like this touches a file already modified by any other change in the queue. In addition, you'll sometimes (or rather often) find that the change from master doesn't apply cleanly to stable, and either needs to be modified or (preferrably) be supplemented by more changes from master not yet on stable. Mind you, you're absolutely free to submit those pull-ups yourself. The most appreciated way you can help though is to provide a list of change numbers you'd like to see in an upcoming stable release. And keep poking...
