Jukka - It isn't about what I 'want' to go through.

MIT license compatibility is irrelevant to this concern.

As I said before, the committers have final say, not I.  If this gets added,
then when we upgrade to that version of PDFBox, we will simply have to go
through the necessary bureaucratic hoops.   My only position is that that is
indeed actual work and I'm not convinced the benefit is sufficient to
justify it.

Please feel free to go ahead with your patch. Just add the mock
library as a dependency with test scope in the relevant POM file.

If Mel wants to go through legal hoops that are way beyond what normal
downstream users of PDFBox need, then IMHO it's up to him to do the
extra work. And we're not even talking about any troublesome licenses
here; MIT is perfectly compatible with all Apache licensing
requirements.
