You missed in that discussion why that problem appeared. I realize that
techical details can be unclear for you. But you could see that the problem
a bit more difficult than just an editing of a couple of chars in the compose
rules file. Nobody argue that XFree should have compose sequences different
from MS Windows's ones.
The thing is that in X a compose file depends on a current locale but not on
a current keyboard map. I know it is not good but it is what we have now.
Until 'unicode locales' were added it didn't cause problems because in most
cases one keyboard map matched one locale in dependence on a 'national
environment'. But since a unicode locale is 'quite international' it happens
that one locale (en_US.UTF-8) is used with different keyboard maps hence
one compose rules set is shared among different maps. It cause a conflict
between rules that actually belong to different languages/keybaord maps.
This problem can not be solved on a vote basis.

First of all try to make one of you keys working as AltGr. At least with
us_intl along you should get dead keys that are more convinient.
And be patient, I promissed to make us_intl map which can be combined with
'ru' soon.
