I'm sorry to say this but we barely manage to fix bugs and
implement features in KTp itself these days. In other words,
unless a bunch of whole new developers show up, we have
no capacity to manage Telepathy itself in the foreseeable
future.

Best I think would be to get a freedesktop.org git account
and simply commit the patches, then do a new release of
mission-control and gabble. Not sure if you'll be able to get
any reviewers though. On the other hand, if someone has
submitted a patch, you can actually act as a reviewer and
accept the patches.
