I have to say I prefer policy when only build fixes are backported / added.
(approach which e.g. buildroot has). Having many patches (25 atm) makes updating
a bit difficult (ok, not that much, 'Upstream-Status: Backport' shows what has
been merged since last release) and sometimes brings users patches which weren't
accepted by upstream (your mips patch [1] was not accepted [2]).

But I understand that LTP 3 months release cycle can be to
slow for some LTP users.

Kind regards,
Petr

PS: I'm slowly working on fixing all musl issues in LTP upstream. It's a long
term run but were moving towards that goal.
Patch "build: Add option to select libc implementation" [3] is a not a good
approach.  Instead it's needed to find for each failure why it's not presented
in musl.  Mostly because it uses non POSIX features or deprecated API, which
needs to be avoided or used kernel headers where it's available.
