I talked to them, they said they’d not backport patches themselves. I asked if they could help with code reviews etc and there was no answer so far (but yesterday was a bank holiday in the UK).

Rethinking how much I can realistically spend on it given my commitments outside Debian, I’m not sure I want to take up another one.

Let’s keep Synapse out for now.
