Maintaining such a patch is probably a couple of days work per year, assuming a worst case scenario of the patch being hard to maintain. Maybe half a day if you can cherry-pick it out of Knots. This is a much lower bar than having to maintain a custom Bitcoin Core fork for consensus changes. Don't be shy.

Citrea publishes some whitepaper(!), for a bridge that would benefit from relaxed OP_RETURN limits. Immediately everybody at Core: "yeah let's DROP the limits - they're useless anyway. LFG ๐Ÿš€" All the while other major changes (e.g. CTV) there's years of filibuster: Where is your signet implementation? Where is your documented user demand? Where is the documented consensus? etc etc etc [Ironically, something like CTV would have done away with the interactive presigning ceremonies that particularly hinder 2way pegs such as said Citrea's bridge] You see the point why people are confused by how Core is handling that, don't you??? Besides, blocking dissenting voices from GH for the slightest of disagreements is absolutely disgusting ๐Ÿ‘Ž This may break the straw for many ppl
Sjors, who knows better than me, doesn't seem to think it's that difficult.
