First, the git-repo isn't the official source (just to make sure we don't  
confuse people here).
Second, probably none of the developers use these packages, and noone had  
free time to tst and merge the patches yet. OpenWrt is still a  
non-commercial project, not a company, so don't expect that kind of  
support.. Real work and life gets priority.

Anyways, as I've suggested a few times before, for this kind of problems I  
would prefer to have package maintainers. I'll try to bug the others again  
about this, as it's pretty obvious that we can't support hundreds of  
packages (specially ones we don't use) ourselves.
