That's up to the maintainers, but it's fairly easy to ignore patches
from given sources however often they are repeated.  There's a lot of
wrong patches that keep getting repeated ...

My own take is that the value would be marginal if all the patches were
correct, but they could be applied with minimal effort using patch
automation.  Once you have to verify correctness of each patch, I don't
think the tracking and verification effort is worth the marginal
improvement, but that's a maintainer call.
