However, upstream seems partly, if not mostly dead (last PR merged was a year ago, only 3 merged in the last ~2.5 years, 50+ outstanding PRs, 100+ outstanding issues). There's some more active forks, but none that has yet unambiguously taken over the project. I'd welcome guidance on when to decide to switch forks in SRC_URI vs carrying around cherry-picked patches in files/. If there's a GLEP covering this scenario I couldn't find it; offlist would be fine unless my inability to Google is a useful learning moment for others.
