I took over the iproute package when it was in a pretty bad shape, most of
the patches submitted were still applied at that time. I ever planed a
carefull review of the patches and to submit them later, but due to real life
reasons I never got so far. Thanks to Andreas (who will be on of the new
maintainers of the package) for doing that for me. 

Some of the patches also need some reworking before applying them outside of
a distribution. But you are right, it was my fault not to send in the patches
and I promise to give more patches back in the future (moving package
development to git in the near future will help with that too).
