That’s good news.

The way I understand it is that Lukas Gradl sent the initial patch in
September 2016 [1].  In March 2017, Adonay Felipe Nogueira picked up the
work and moved it forward, notably contacting upstream and getting
things rolling with upstreaming their patches [2].  Then, in April 2018,
I picked up the patches and cleaned them up some more [3].  Now you are
working on it, which makes you the fourth person.
