Bummer that, but people mostly contribute on a volunteer-basis and have
lives outside of emacs, so I didn't take it personally.

No. I was discouraged from continuing by the silence and lack of
response to my submitted patch and notes.

It's been hiding on the bug report thread since 21 Mar 2018:

  
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?filename=cua-rect.patch;msg=23;bug=30085;att=1
  
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?msg=23;filename=cua-rect-notes.txt;att=2;bug=30085

There may be other useful data in the thread; I don't remember. I've
just returned from holiday and had a backlog of work before I left, so I
can't commit to continuing this anytime soon, but I remember that the
patch did fix some issues, so if you want to carry the ball, then the
patch and accompanying notes could be useful.
