Its no real problem.  I think it will not happen to frequently since the
situation to save package for upcoming releases is only every second
year - perhaps posting the fact you are working in a separate branch
would help in such cases.  Feel free to replace everything I did by your
probably more advanced changes since you know the internals way better.
I also do not consider my time terribly wasted since I know have some
insight into these packages.

That's fine. 

Kind regards
