There are two ways to solve this:

1. create a fork in github (that's what drives the development in
   large parts anyway), possibly make a pull request, and if not
   accepted, provide a variant, or patches.

2. make dt externally pluginable.  Considering it's already a bunch of
   plugins, that should absolutely be possible.  You have to watch out
   for module numbers and module order, but other than that...

I personally see nothing wrong with option 2.  I'm looking at the
integration of Nik Software into Lightroom as an example of
usability.

Cheers,
Richard
