I don't have an active development interest in the intel driver, I just
ship it. My most recent patch was just because I couldn't get it to
build on 32-bit in Fedora, and I wasn't the one that merged it. In
general I try not to force-push patches to drivers that have active
maintenance. Which intel does have, despite the lack of releases;
people pretty much just use git snapshots and that seems to be
sufficient.

The intel driver hasn't migrated to gitlab yet, Intel have internal
processes that revolve around bugzilla and the mailing list still
AFAIK. intel-gfx@ was the right place to send the patch.
