Comment 1 David Walser 2014-12-20 01:27:33 CET 
It was discussed on the mailing list somewhat shortly after 1.3.8 came out.  People had it packaged locally but it caused regressions so it wasn't committed.  I don't know the status of the fork.
Comment 2 Morgan Leijström 2016-07-12 00:41:00 CEST 
Status update: mga6_s1 have 1.3.8, 
the fork released 1.3.12 on 17 Dec 2015
