I would say that you should submit a bug report against the libtorrent package with you patch.

You might know that there is a specific process to apply as a Debian Developer https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDeveloper/JoinTheProject/NewMember If you want to help in the development of the Hurd port, starting to build a track record in porting packages may be a way to go.
