Sure, like any dev will be going through every possible bug tracker,
repo or ask any possible user to find patches for his app.
Don't be ridiculous. If you write a patch that's not distro specific,
then it's your job to get it to upstream,
it's the only way it could possibly work. The beauty of arch
is that the patch you just wrote is most likely against the latest
release, and upstream will likely be happy to get it.
