Hi Rafael, The intention for upstream submission is certainly there, however time is not quite... hopefully soon.
Some blocks need optimisation, cleaning and re-styling - if anyone wishes to help by sending a patch, that would be wonderful (I just received my first a little while ago!). Re: getting the dongle, I happened to get lucky on eBay. I can only suggest to keep searching! Good luck.
