If you haven't done so already, best would be to open a bug report
against xfpm on Bugzilla and attach your patch there. The biggest
issue, though, is that to my knowledge we don't currently have an
active maintainer for xfpm, so I'm not sure how long it will take for
some of our devels to review the patch. Maybe you'd like to step up?

Liviu
