Why do you think that's better than submitting it as a branch within the
offical fork?  Just to reduce object growth?

How does that help in this case?  I guess it allows commenting on
individual changes, but I think the changes are likely too large to be
beneficial to that.

One of the problems I know we'll hit is that the patch was done against
a much earlier point between 5.7 and 5.8 and there will be conflicts and
issues because of it.  But I will try to get that branched from
hopefully the right point where it still works.
