AFAIK xawtv upstream is mostly dead, which is the mean reason why those patches
are not getting integrated upstream.
It would be good for someone to pick up doing xawtv upstream work, you can
request a sf.net (or something similar) project for it, import the latest
version there, then apply a set of patches from a distro of choice and then
start asking distribution maintainers to merge their patch set with your new xawtv.
If you do this I will poke the Fedora maintainer to get his patches integrated
and if he doesn't I'll happily do it myself.
Also look here for a small (but somewhat important) bugfix patch to xawtv:
