Even back then I didn't really know how to interpret that:

"no, get it upgraded upstream"

You mean I should get the OpenSSH people to integrate the
chmod/chown/umask functionality into their mainline sources?

It took them several years to get the logging part integrated,
and they probably have seen the sftplogging patch, did know
that there is that chmod/chown/umask functionality, and they
haven't integrated that for some (to me, unimaginable) reason.
What do you think how long it would take for me or anybody
else to convince them to integrate that as well?

I'm running an sftp fileserver which can only be secured by
using that functionality so I could not upgrade the OpenSSH
on that server for about a year now since the sftplogging
patch has been removed from the ebuild. Do you really think
that we, who are using that functionality, want to wait some
more years for the OpenSSH people to integrate the another
half of the functionality of that patch?

Shouldn't it be done so that you don't just ditch a function
set that is heavily used and depended on by several people
until the upstream folks don't fully integrate it?

I really don't understand the way you're thinking.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm stupid, please enlighten me!

Thanks,

Sab
