Unless the GP maintainer intends to have a proper fork, IMO the proper way is 
to only accept Git-formatted patches from upstream, keeping the authorship and 
commit messages at least, if possible. Shouldn't allow changes downstream which 
are not first applied upstream. Something like #440 would enforce this and 
makes it easier to keep downstream tracking (whatever stable) upstream they 
want.

I don't think it would be really hard to bring them inline, but it would be 
better to do it after something like #440 so it can't happen again, IMO.

Yeah, the main repo doesn't have the proxy plugins stuff merged, mostly because 
a) it got rebased after I started reviewing/testing b) I wanted to retain 
compatibility so everybody's plugins didn't break and c) after I gave in and 
gave @kugel- the OK to merge it, I think he lost interest since it was merged 
in the fork already.
