well it would be up to the package maintainer as to how far they'd be
willing to go to get patches etc, and unless it was really a really
significant contribution that won't likely happen when contributions
don't come via our defined paths for them.

I agree it would be wrong to simply refuse contributions, but informing
them of our processes and how they can make their contributions easy for
our maintainers and thus more likely to be applied is the only approach
that will fly in the medium term.
