Well, I only recently decided to help the Debian quilt maintainer (Martin
Quinson) which definitely was involved upstream somewhat but indeed he
did not manage to do a very good job of forwarding patches... sorry for
that. Feel free to ask questions if you have some.

BTW, if you want to follow more closely what's happening on the Debian
side, you have the possibility to subscribe to the package tracking
system:
http://package.qa.debian.org/quilt
The subscription box is in the lower left corner. You can subscribe in
particular to:
- bug report discussions
- announce of new uploads

Also of interest, the current list of bug reports:
http://bugs.debian.org/quilt
