This is an interesting difference of opinion and is probably worth
exploring; it's worth knowing what the difficulties where.

It might also be writing this up -- is there a description anywhere of
"how to submit a change to Emacs", and should it not be in the elisp
manual?

Incidentally, I say "change" and not "patch". Submitting a change these
days generally means "clone, branch, pull request".
