IIRC, the patches to libcmis got merged back at
https://github.com/tdf/libcmis/pull/43

and what's needed is a new release, though we probably want to bump the
soname of libcmis first, as proposed with
https://github.com/tdf/libcmis/pull/44

so it's mostly a matter of figuring out who, that are active, have
privs to merge requests and make releases. And/or how to get some more
people those privs.
