If the patches are technically correct and don't break the rest of the 
platforms, I don't see why we shouldn't accept them upstream.

If the patch is large, then the patch must come with a promise of maintenance 
as well.

We would require the same of any other port or large modification. In fact, we 
do require that of our QNX/BB10 friends and it's being required of the Android 
and iOS ports too.
