Upstream generally does not accept 3rd party patch contributions, so asking 
debian to contribute it wil likely result in it not being accepted.  So 
it's better to work directly with the OpenLDAP project.  I'd start by 
filing an issue in the issue tracker if one doesn't already exist:

https://bugs.openldap.org

and then apply for a gitlab account with the OpenLDAP project:

https://git.openldap.org

After the account is approved, you can open a PR to have your patch 
evaluated.
