One aspect is that upstream developers are using distros like Fedora and OpenSUSE,
so the first step is to provide GCC14 as alternative GCC version there.
With that, upstream developers have a chance to fix those issues ... upstream.

To put it the other way round:
I don't see that too many packages would get or should be fixed as downstream patches only.
Yet the downstream build environments are of great help as well.

Have a nice day,
